ABSTRACT
Transmission tests of Urdbean leaf crinkle virus (ULCV) by means of aphid, Aphis craccivora and whitefly, Bemisia tabaci were carried out to ascertain the efficiency of the insect to transmit the ULCV under greenhouse conditions in insect proof cages. Studies on aphid (Aphis craccivora) transmission of ULCV revealed maximum transmission of ULCV with pre-acquisition fasting period of 25-30 minutes (80.00%), acquisition access period of two minutes (86.67%) and inoculation access period of 24 – 48 hours (80.00%) with ten aphids per plant (80.00%). Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci failed to transmit ULCV.
Key words :
Aphis craccivora, Bemisia tabaci, ULCV, Vector transmission.
