Slowing Spread of Lettuce Infectious Yellows Virus with Stylet Oil

Abstract

Infection by lettuce infectious yellows vines was reduced in lettuce treated with stylet oil. There was a difference in the final infection level between treated and untreated blocks and reduced infection in early readings. Yields were slightly better in the treated blocks. It has not been determined if and under what conditions it would be feasible to use this treatment on a practical scale.
