Abstract
The chlorotic leaf spot virus which occurs latent in apples, is widespread in Dutch orchards. In the present paper sap inoculation onChenopodium quinoa is recommended for rapid indexing of trees. Young leaves gave satisfactory results when tested during the first 4–6 weeks after expansion of the buds. The best results were obtained when homogenated petals were used as inoculum. Het chlorotische-bladvlekkenvirus komt in Nederland zeer algemeen latent voor in alle appelrassen. Het virus kan door middel van sapinoculatie opChenopodium quinoa worden aangetoond. Een week na de inoculatie reageren de toetsplanten met lokale vlekken op de bladeren. Deze methode is veel sneller dan de indicatie met behulp van houtige toetsplanten. Hoewel gedurende het gehele seizoen virusoverdracht mogelijk is, kan het virus goed worden aangetoond met jong blad in de eerste 4 tot 6 weken na het uitlopen van de bladknoppen. Nog betere resultaten worden verkregen met bloemblaadjes.
