RATES OF REINFECTION WITH VIRUS IN COMMERCIAL GLADIOLUS CROPS |
| Authors: | Jane R. Moran, Carol E. Curtis |
| Abstract:
Field trials on a commercial gladiolus grower's property showed that virus tested gladiolus grown 0.5 and 2 km from infected crops did not become infected with either bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) or cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Virus tested plants grown amongst infected gladiolus averaged 16.5% infection with BYMV and 0.002% infection with CMV after one season. All tests for virus were done using ELISA. | |
