Final Report

Brief Project Summary:

Previous studies have shown that morning glory is a symptomless host of soybean vein necrosis virus and can act as a source of inoculum for soybean fields. Characteristic symptoms of the disease include brown necrotic blotches along major veins of the upper and lower leaf surface, resulting in a scorched appearance of damaged leaves. Morning glory is considered one of the top 10 most common weeds in Alabama, suggesting the weed may play a significant role in the disease cycle of SVNV in the state. This project determines if morning glory populations in Alabama are acting as a source of SVNV.
