Incidence of Viral Diseases on Solanaceae Crops in Gangwon Province

Abstract

This study researched the current occurrence status of viral diseases of solanaceous crops in the main production areas of Gangwon region, for four years from 2014 to 2018. From 2014 to 2018, in eight cities and counties including Chuncheon, Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2), Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV), Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), and Potato virus Y occurred in chilli peppers. In case of tomato, the research was performed in 2017 and 2018 while TSWV and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) were verified in Chuncheon, Hoengseong, and Cheorwon. Especially, TYLCV occurred in Chuncheon region for the first time in 2017, which was verified in 2018. Lastly, the current occurrence status of viral diseases of bell peppers was researched in seven cities and counties like Gangneung, Hoengseong, and Cheorwon from 2015 to 2018. In the results, CMV, BBWV2, PMMoV, Pepper mottle virus, and TSWV were verified in bell peppers of Gangwon region. During the research period, there were no crops suspected or infected by Beet western yellows virus, so that it is judged that there is no villiferous or infected aphid by this virus in Gangwon-do. Such results of this study could be used as the basic data for the stable production of crops through the early prevention of plant diseases occurring in the solanaceous crops of Gangwon region.
