Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus
Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus is an emerging disease threat to greenhouse and field crops. This virus can infect cucumbers, watermelons, cantaloupe and pumpkins. The damage can be extensive and result in substantial yield losses and lower market value.
There are only a few steps a grower can take to block the virus. Cuc Guard is one of the best currently available.
Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus
Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) is a plant virus in the genus Tobamovirus, first described in 2015.
The main hosts are tomato and peppers. The virus causes symptoms including mosaic and distortion of leaves and brown, wrinkly spots (rugose) on fruits. Outbreaks can be severe and leave fruit unmarketable.
Ru Guard, designed to prevent the disease, is now undergoing trials in Leamington, Ontario.
