Soybean growers in the North central region are facing a potential new threat to soybean production due to the appearance of an emerging soybean viral disease, Soybean Vein Necrosis Associated Virus (SVNaV). Soybean Vein Necrosis Associated Virus is a new Tospovirus that was first discovered in soybean fields in Tennessee in 2008. Currently the disease has been detected in thirteen states in the North central region including Indiana. Infection by SVNaV initially appears as vein clearing that becomes chlorotic, leading to leaves becoming necrotic. The disease has caused significant damage in soybean fields in some states such as Arkansas.
