Overview
Viral diseases are one of the major constraints to vegetable production.Through this project researchers seek out new approaches to address plant virus diseases transmitted by insect vectors, seed, or germplasm in developing countries where virology expertise is typically rare.
Objectives
Support research on major viral diseases of plants in order to obtain correct diagnosis and develop effective pest management
Outcomes
Coming soon
