- Abstract
This article reports that tobacco rattle virus (TRV) and the English form of tomato black ring virus (TBRV) were obtained from sugar beet showing leaf mottling or blotching at several sites on sandy soils in East Anglia. Infected plants occurred in ill-defined areas of the crops, where growth was poor. TBRV-infected plants were commonest in the parts of fields where its vector Longidorus attemiatus was most abundant. The nematode Trichodorus pachydermus occurred at all outbreaks of TRV and transmitted it in laboratory tests. TBRV was seed- and pollen-borne in sugar beet. It was concluded that the patchy stunting of beet crops on sandy alkaline soils in East Anglia known as Docking disorder probably has several alternative causes or alternative combinations of causes.
