Title StatementStudies on a virus-like mosaic disease of taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott)
General NoteBaybay, Leyte: VISCA, 1982. 53p
Summary, Etc.Surveys on symptoms and disease incidence of taro feathery mosaic (TFM) in two taro-growing areas of Eastern and Central Visayas were conducted. Plants infected with TFM produced symptoms of feathery mosaic with or without mottling of leaves and characterized by slight green streak and/or irregular spots along or in between leaf veins. Symptoms of infection may disappear and then reappear on young leaves. Using the Kalpao variety of taro, mechanical inoculation showed 70% infection after 12.4 days of incubation while insect inoculation gave 63% infection after 15.2 days. Insect transmission studies revealed that both adults and nymphs of Tarophagus proserpina kirk. (taro planthopper) are efficient transmitters of TFM. Both the minimum acquisition feeding period and minimum infection feeding period were about five minutes
