Evaluation of Beet Leafhopper Transmitted Virescence Agent Damage in the Columbia Basin
2014-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Potato purple top disease is caused by a phytoplasma known as Beet Leafhopper Transmitted Virescence Agent (BLTVA), which is vectored by the beet leafhopper (BLH, Circulifer tenellus Baker). Previous studies determined that BLTVA can cause significant reductions in yield and tuber quality; however, quantifying the damage caused by BLTVA and the insect vector has been challenging. In 2009–2011, potato plants at dif...
