Table 2.
Mean incidence (percentage of infected plants) of turnip yellows virus (TuYV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV) in plots of field-grown lentil and field pea for each treatment (i.e.- non-inoculated control, early TuYV infection and late TuYV infection) in field experiments conducted in south-eastern Australia during 2018-2020; virus incidence was determined using tissue blot immunoassay.
