Abstract: | The effect of resistance of sugar beet cultivars to beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) on virus content of resting spore clusters of the vectorPolymyxa betae was studied in controlled environments and in naturally infested fields. The total number of resting spore clusters formed in roots of a partially resistant and a susceptible cultivar did not differ when assessed 6 and 12 weeks after inoculation with viruliferous resting spores. Transmission experiments showed that in partially resistant plants, having a low virus content in the roots, the population of resting spores formed was less viruliferous than that in susceptible plants with a high virus content. Consequently, growing a resistant cultivar can be expected to delay the build-up of virus inoculum in soil.In a trial field sampled in 1991, the inoculum potential of BNYVV (most probable number of viruliferousP. betae propagules) in soil was lower after growing a partially resistant cultivar than after growing a susceptible one. On the other hand, in four sites sampled in 1990, inoculum potential in soil was hardly increased by growing sugar beet and was not significantly affected by the cultivar grown. |
