In Europe this virus disease is found since 1965–1975. Watermelon and melon are also susceptible to this virus.

Symptoms

The virus affects the young leaves with green and light green spots, even yellow-green spots. These spots have a slower development rate than the rest of the leaf. Sometimes the veins remain green. In heavy infection young leaves are even deformed. The activity of the virus is reduced when the leaf ages. Fruit drop (abortion) is common. The rest of the fruits are small. Yield is reduced by 25% even more if no control action are taken into account. In the epidermis of the sick plants characteristic structures can be seen easily with a microscope.

Virus ID: Tobamovirus group. Temperature inactivation in juice 90 °C Transition: seed 8–10% from the beginning which is enough to star the silent infection. Aphids and other sucking insects do not transmit the virus. In hydroponic the virus could spread out to up to 80% of the crop because the roots are touching.

gollark: - things are, on average, generally improving- any economic system which operates at scale, i.e. any able to maintain our modern standard of living, has to wrestle with this complexity too- none of this implies that supply and demand "is made up"
gollark: I don't think this is actually true though. Prices of technology in terms of hours of work have gone down a lot, and the power of it has gone up.
gollark: Presumably because making complex and bureaucracy-driven institutions actually work sanely is an unsolved problem.
gollark: Lack of coherent response interpreted as communism.
gollark: What are you suggesting is the actual thing occurring then?
