What pesticide works well for mosaic virus disease?
Mosaic virus disease is a common infectious disease, spread by planthoppers, aphids or thrips, so it is very difficult to control. So what pesticide should be used for mosaic virus disease?
1. What pesticide should be used for mosaic virus disease?
For mosaic virus disease, pesticides such as imidacloprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam and pymetrozine combined with chlorobromoisocyanuric acid, tetramycin, ningnanmycin and amino-oligosaccharin can be used for control. Lentinan combined with foliar fertilizer, zinc fertilizer and cytokinin can also be used for control. Brassinolide combined with abamectin can also be sprayed for control.
2. What harm does mosaic virus disease cause?
The harm mosaic virus disease causes to its host has long been known as “plant cancer”, and it is extremely difficult to control. After the virus infects the host, it not only competes with the host for the nutrients needed for growth, but also disrupts the plant's nutrient transport and alters certain metabolic balances of the host plant, inhibiting photosynthesis, making plant growth difficult and producing symptoms such as deformity and yellowing, and in severe cases causing the death of the host plant.
