What are the control methods for Cymbidium mosaic virus?

Cymbidium mosaic virus is a very troublesome problem, so today I will share with you how to prevent and control Cymbidium mosaic virus.

Causes of Cymbidium mosaic virus:

Cymbidium mosaic virus occurs all over the world. The virus particles are about 480nm long and about 13nm wide, and the virus is easily transmitted mechanically through sap. This virus naturally infects as many as 38 genera of orchids, making it a virus with a wide host range among orchids.

Transmission routes of Cymbidium mosaic virus:

During division and transplanting, fingers and tools such as scissors that have taken up the virus from infected plants can transmit it to healthy plants they touch. The roots of diseased plants are easily damaged, and the virus can flow out from the bottom of the pot during watering, so it is infectious.

Preventive measures for Cymbidium mosaic virus:

1. Once diseased plants are found, destroy them immediately. If they are rare varieties, they should also be isolated and sprayed with Xin'gaozhim (a new high-lipid film) to form a protective film and prevent the spread of the pathogen. 2. When propagating by division, fingers and tools should be washed with soapy water. Do not use the same bucket of water to wash many plants; instead, wash them one by one under running water. Use Hushu Dajiangjun (a tree-protection formula) in time to control the breeding and spread of airborne viruses, protect the plant's instinctive self-defense response, destroy the nutrient source of harmful pathogens, eliminate viruses through penetrating action, and block the pathways of virus replication and spread.
