Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV)

Minor Pest Description

The first symptoms to develop when Brassica seedlings are inoculated with TuMV are chlorotic spots on inoculated leaves, mottling followed by systemic vein clearing, mosaic and/or necrosis, leaf distortion and often stunting.

Minor Pest What to do.
  • Remove TuMV-infected plant debris and eradicate infected plants around fields as this can help to reduce virus inoculum and hence spread.
