Abstract

CGMMV was first detected in surface water used for sprinkling irrigation of cucumbers in greenhouses in the spring and contamination reached a max. in Jun.-Jul. Virus concn were low in Aug. at the end of the cropping season when little irrigation is required, but levels rose in Sep. when the soil was leached. CGMMV was also found in seepage from dumping sites of cucumber fruits and crop debris, in packing containers and in manure from cows fed with virus-infected fruits. The virus was not found in tap or well water. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
