This study confirmed that plant diseases caused by viruses are
causing tremendous economic losses for chili, tomato and mungbean
growers in India, Thailand and Vietnam. The majority of
farmers in the study, ranging from 62% of tomato growers in
Thailand to 92% of chili growers in Vietnam, had observed virus
disease symptoms in their crop.
Host plant resistance will be the best long-term solution to the
problem of virus diseases, as they will reduce yield losses even if
farmers lack knowledge about the spread of plant virus diseases.
Good field sanitation and vector control is therefore essential and requires
much knowledge on the part of the farmer.
Better farmer training in disease identification, disease epidemiology and management is
needed.
The very limited literature on this topic suggests this issue
is not receiving the priority it deserves
