Corn Stunt Virus
Corn Stunt Virus is a plant virus that primarily affects corn crops. It is transmitted by certain insects, particularly leafhoppers, which feed on infected plants and then spread the virus to healthy ones. The virus can lead to stunted growth, yellowing leaves, and reduced yields, impacting farmers' productivity.
Management of Corn Stunt Virus involves controlling the insect vectors and using resistant corn varieties. Crop rotation and proper field sanitation can also help reduce the virus's spread. Early detection and monitoring are essential for effective management and minimizing economic losses in affected areas.
