Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV): Minimising the impacts of CMV, particularly in lentil
Published 3 years, 10 months ago
Description
Cucumber Mosaic Virus - also known as CMV - is a seed transmitted virus that can cause yield losses of almost 100 per cent.
That’s why GRDC is investing in a project that will support industry by providing information on minimising the impact of CMV infected seed; specifically on lentil yield in the Southern region.
The project also aims to promote awareness of seed health, seed transmitted viruses and yield penalties associated with different levels of virus infection.
