Management options readily available to farmers include
keeping fields and surrounding areas free of weeds and volunteer
plants (alternative hosts for viruses and their vectors); ensuring old
crops are completely destroyed after harvest to remove sources of
infection; growing seedlings (tomato and chili) in net cages that
exclude virus-vectoring insects until the seedlings are transplanted
to the field; and inspecting the crop regularly after transplanting
and removing (roguing) plants showing virus disease symptoms as
soon as they are seen (to remove sources of infection for spread
within the field)..
