Mosaic Virus on Courgettes

Posted Sep 26 2010 7:03am

 The two most important virus infections of courgettes are cucumber mosaic virus & zucchini yellow mosaic virus. 

If the virus appears in the courgette plants:

  • there is no cure or treatment
  • it is spread by aphids & by knives cutting the courgettes off the vines
  • virus resistant varieties can be grown (e.g. Defender, Primula, Supremo, Tarmino, Zucchino).
