Abstract

WINGLESS Myzus persicae were reared on sugar beet plants (provided by Dr. G. E. Russell, Plant Breeding Institute, Cambridge) infected with sugar beet yellows virus (SBYV), sugar beet mild yellows virus (SBMYV)1, or both viruses. Eight widely separated plants in a 7¼-acre field of sugar beet each received three adult and six young aphids from these cultures on May 31, 1962, and nearby plants were examined for aphids and virus symptoms at weekly intervals thereafter.
