| dc.description.abstract | Some physical properties and the mode of transmission of Coconut Wilt Virus (CWV), the virus associated with the root (wilt) disease of coconut has been studied using cowpea as indicator plant. The virus is sap transmissible and its insect vector on coconut is Stephanitis typicus Dist. It is also soil-borne, the clay and silt fractions collected from the base of diseased trees being infective. It has a fairly wide host range when mechanically transmitted ard occuis naturally in the roots of a number of weeds. | en_US |
