Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In soybean only one disease Bean yellow mosaic virus was identified. In groundnut three diseases were identified namely Peanut stunt virus, Tomato spotted wilt virus and Peanut mosaic virus. Present survey results indicate that virus diseases are not of major concern at the moment. Only Bean yellow mosaic virus is of some concern.

Keywords: Survey, Virus Diseases, Oilseed Crops, Jessore region

Location: Plant Pathology Division, BARI, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2006

End Date: 00-00-2007

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Soybean

Objectives:

To identify the virus diseases of oilseed crops and its impact on crop production

Methodology:

Disease assessments were made in the research farm of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) at Joydebpur, Jessore, Ishurdi and Jamalpur and farmer’s field in the adjoining areas during winter 2006-7. A minimum of 5 acre cropped area were surveyed in the late vegetative stage of the crop growth. Crops included mustard, groundnut, sunflower and soybean.

Achievement/Findings:

Virus diseases were identified in soybean and groundnut. Other crops were apparently virus free. In soybean only one disease Bean yellow mosaic virus was identified. Its incidence was around 5%. The disease was observed in all the locations where Soybean was grown. In groundnut three diseases were identified namely Peanut stunt virus, Tomato spotted wilt virus and Peanut mosaic virus. But their incidence was less than 1%. Present survey results indicate that virus diseases are not of major concern at the moment. Only Bean yellow mosaic virus is of some concern.
