SCVS Widespread in Australian FababeansCANBERRA - Feb 5/04 -- Unusually high rates of subterranean clover stunt virus (SCSV), a potentially serious disease, were discovered in Australian fababeans during last year's disease surveys. The country's Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) says in the latest edition of Ground Cover magazine that it was one of the more serious of 11 viruses reported on fababean in Australia. GRDC researchers said such results underscore the need for regular surveys to monitor virus incidence and to set priorities for virus research. Such surveys require diagnostic tests because different viruses can cause similar symptoms. Also, nutrient deficiencies, herbicide damage and water stress can produce symptoms almost indistinguishable from those caused by viruses.
