Curly Top Virus is a plant virus that primarily affects beets and other members of the Chenopodiaceae family. It is transmitted by the leafhopper insect, which spreads the virus as it feeds on the sap of infected plants. Symptoms include stunted growth, curling of leaves, and yellowing, which can significantly reduce crop yields. Control measures for Curly Top Virus include managing leafhopper populations through insecticides and planting resistant varieties of affected crops. Crop rotation and proper sanitation practices can also help minimize the spread of the virus in agricultural settings.
