Abstract

Throughout the world, plant viruses and its diseases are one of the important limitations for food production. From 100 years ago, studies about the plant viruses and virus diseases given much attention to their control. According to IXth International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) classification of 2012, “there are 91 genera 1005 virus and viroid species infecting plants which are classified largely based on differences in host reaction, serology, genome sequence identity and phylogenic analysis of the virus”. Controlling of plant disease has been tough to attain due to the absence of any operative methods of aiding virus-infested plants. Meristem-tip culture, chemotherapy and thermotherapy can be fruitful but still it cannot be implemented at a large scale. Subsequently, the chief objective is either to avert or interrupt virus contamination or to improve its situations. Numerous methods have been used to accomplish these purposes, comprising phytosanitation (engaging crop hygiene, quarantine measures, eradication, and use of virus-free planting stuff), variations in harvesting styles, and usage of pesticides to regulate routes, slight stress fortification and the disposition of resilient or forbearing ranges. In this review paper, we will discuss about the controlling of plant viral diseases through some techniques such as Control measures, Host Plant Resistance, Chemical Method, Phytosanitation etc. Keywords: Plant Virus Disease, Phytosanitation, Cropping, Pesticides Chemotherapy, Thermotherapy, Meristem-tip

Introduction

Plants are infested through natural means by various viruses throughout the world and the amount of viruses incessantly establish themselves. Complex plant structure offer the habitation for an extensive series of pathogens, out of which viruses are one of the most widely spread category. Plants affect various crop species comprising the one that possess huge significance in cultivation. Sometimes the impact of viruses aren’t harmful but their crop development and harvest usually decreases and may lead to severe financial damages. It have long been recognized and concluded that the inducement studies of viruses hinders the growth of crops. Its main aim is to control the developed effective viruses that could probably be made use on a larger scale to escalate crop yield and make positive usage of the cultivate land, labor and other assets like underutilization.

This paper considers the limitation to implementation and the possibility for emerging and employing combined controlled methods.

Control Measures: Elimination of certain viruses from diseased plants without killing or removing but by the application of heat or by the use of chemicals or meristem-tip therapy. By using these method, it is considered to develop a virus-free plants of vegetative-propagated crops for supplementary circulation and relief to cultivators. Such therapy can’t be used on huge scale and absence of any conceivable method of ailing diseased plants is an essential limitation of control mechanism. Subsequently, additional methods have been accepted. These are to:

• Stop plants from becoming infested by any possible pathogen.

• Or cause a delay to the contamination to such a final phase of crop development so that harvests are not extremely compromised.

• Diminish the effects of infection.
