Abstract
Cotton leaf crumple (CLC) is incited by a whitefly- transmitted plant virus that infects primarily species within the genus Gossvpium. An extensive host range study was undertaken to identify other hosts which could serve as virus reservoirs in cotton growing areas. More than 20 plant species within the Leguminosae and Malvaceae were identified as CLCV hosts, some of which may be important in the epidemiology of the disease both in cotton and in newly recognized host crop species.Series/Report no.
