Natural field infection of garlic by garlic yellow streak virus in the Pukekohe area of New Zealand and associated problems with the introduction of new garlic cultivars
Year: 1995
Type: article
Abstract: The effect of garlic yellow streak virus (GYS V) on red garlic (Y strain), traditionally grown in the Pukekohe region of New Zealand, was found to be minimal; emergence from infected cloves was 92% and infected plants generally produced bulbs of good size and quality. In contrast, the effect on the popular Japanese cultivar—'Fukuchikei White'—was severe; only 56% of infected cloves emerged and only 42% of the emerged plants subsequently produced bulbs. Natural GYSV infection of virus‐free garlic, cultivar ‘Printanor’, was delayed by a 2 km separation from the nearest infected garlic crop, but the final disease incidence was not affected.
