EFFECT OF DIFFERENT DATES OF PLANTING TIME ON PREVALENCE OF TOMATO YELLOW LEAF CURL VIRUS AND WHITEFLY OF TOMATO (Pages : 1 - 6)

An experiment was conducted to detect effect of different dates of planting time on prevalence of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV) and whitefly in tomato fields in Bangladesh. The percentage of TYLCV incidence in different date of planting time (one year from mid October, 2000 to mid September, 2001) of tomato cv. BARI Tomato 4 was evaluated. The highest TYLCV incidence (%) was observed at 75 DAP during the period of March and April, 2001 planting followed by May, 2001 planting, but the lowest TYLCV incidence (%) was found in November, 2000 planting followed by December, 2000 planting. A strong correlation was obtained between the incidence of TYLCV and number of whitefly in tomato plants. Download
