Abstract
Virus and virus-like diseases have an enormous impact on strawberry production throughout the United States. They influence and may limit the choice of parental lines for plant breeders. They are responsible for many of the special management methods used by nurseries to provide growers with certified planting stock from virus-tested sources. They are a major source of yield loss in fruiting fields. In this review, two main questions will be addressed: 1) What progress has been made recently in detecting and determining the cause of the noninfectious disease called June yellows and in detecting and characterizing the virus and virus-like agents that cause eight major infectious diseases of cultivated strawberry on the U.S. Pacific Coast?, and 2) How well are these diseases currently being controlled, and what of the future?
