Yield Losses Associated with Virus-Infected Garlic Plants During Five Successive Years

Abstract: Virus-free garlic plants, when planted in the field, are quickly infected by viruses, but it is not known to what extent this affects the yield over successive crop cycles. The yield loss curve was studied for these plants during 5 years of tests in the field. Highly significant differences were detected in the weight and perimeter of bulbs in relation to the years of exposure to virus infection. An increase was observed in yield compared with chronically diseased plants of between 66 and 216% in weight and 13… Show more

“…In the seventh field cycle, even with a severe reduction in plant height compared to the first generation plants, yields were at least 31.44% higher when compared to chronically infected plants (control) that are regularly used by the growers. Similar results were reported by Conci et al (2003) in Argentina. Virus-free garlic plants, when planted in the field, were quickly infected by viruses, affecting plant vigour and reducing the yield over successive crop cycles.…”

“…The same study indicated that cleaning garlic plants from viruses can increase yield by more than 100% when compared to the standard garlic seed used by farmers (Fajardo, 1998;Tanabe, 1999). Similar results were obtained in Argentina, where 42-100% was reinfected by the end of the first year (Conci et al, 2003). The bulb weight was an average of 75.7 g in the first crop cycle compared to 33.4 g in the virus-infected control plants, representing a gain in weight of about 125%.…”

“…En el presente estudio, los porcentajes de muestras seropositivas variaron en los diferentes muestreos; lo anterior no significa que los virus hayan desaparecido de las plantas en el periodo transcurrido de un muestreo a otro, sino que posiblemente se haya reducido la concentración viral y, por lo tanto, la prueba de ELISA no lo detectó. Ello coincide con lo reportado por Conci, Canavelli & Lunello (2003), Dovas et al (2001) y Shiboleth, Gal-On, Koch, Rabinowitch & Salomon (2001, quienes seña-lan que aunque la técnica de ELISA a menudo ha sido utilizada para realizar el diagnóstico de virus en ajo, la técnica de PCR ha demostrado ser más eficiente y sensible.…”

“…Although these infections do not kill the plants, they can cause important yield losses (Walkey & Antill, 1989;Conci, 1997;Canavelli et al, 1998;Conci et al, 2003;Lunello et al, 2007;Perotto et al, 2010). These viruses are widespread in garlic plants throughout the world due to the exclusively agamic propagation of the species.…”
