Cucurbits (Cucumber, Melon, Squash)
Key warning symptoms:
- Brown spots
- Mosaic
- Deformation
- Chlorosis
- Mottle
- Ringspots
- Stunting
Cucurbits are especially vulnerable to viruses in the potyvirus family. The most common of these are Watermelon mosaic virus - 2, Zucchini yellow mosaic virus, and Papaya ringspot virus. In addition to these, we frequently find other potyviruses that react with our general potyvirus test but not with any specific antisera.
