Abstract
Viruses cause large yield losses in many crop species and, in some situations, can limit the use of certain crops in some areas. There are three basic approaches to preventing these crop losses. Firstly, the sources of virus infection can be removed, say, by use of virus-free planting stock or by eradication schemes. Secondly, attempts can be made to prevent virus spread by cultural techniques such as killing their vectors. Thirdly, virus-resistant varieties of crops can be used. This latter approach has several major advantages: it is considered to be the most economical for farmers; it reduces the ecological problems caused by the widespread use of pesticides; and it is thought to be the most effective control measure in the long term.
