Determination of Viral Diseases in Tomato and Pepper Production Areas of Kırşehir Province, Türkiye

Öz

An extensive survey study was conducted during the 2023 cultivation season to determine the prevalence of virus diseases in the Central, Kaman and Mucur districts of Kırşehir province where summer vegetable cultivation is intensively performed. During the field studies, leaf samples were collected from symptomatic plants in the cultivation areas. Leaf samples were taken from a total of 150 plants including 75 tomato and 75 pepper plants with symptoms such as yellowing (chlorosis), mild or severe mosaic, leaf deformation, blistering mosaic, vein-banding on leaves and stunting. They were tested for the presence of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) and tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) using double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) method. 122 of the 150 samples collected (81.3%), were found to be infected with various viruses and ToMV which was found as single or mixed infections, was the most common virus with 44.7% rate among these samples. ToMV was followed by TSWV with 41.3% infection rate, CMV with 16.7% and TMV with 16.0%, respectively. 18.7% of the samples taken from Kırşehir pepper and tomato cultivation areas, were determined to be infected with TSWV, 18.0% with ToMV and 10.0% with CMV in the single infections and no single infections of TMV. When the situation of mixed infections in tomato and pepper leaf samples is considered, TSWV+ToMV were detected in 14.0% of leaf samples, TMV+ToMV in 8.0%, TMV+TSWV in 3.3%, CMV+TMV in 2.7% as double infection and TMV+TSWV+ToMV in 2.7%, TMV+CMV+ToMV in 2.0% as triple infections. The most common virus in tomato leaf samples with a rate of 41.3% was ToMV, while TSWV in pepper leaf samples with 56.0%. TMV+TSWV+ToMV mixed infection caused the most damage (average damaged leaf area 88.8%) to the leaves of tomato plants. In pepper plants, the most severe disease was determined as TMV+CMV+ToMV mixed infection with mean 54.6% damaged leaf area. TSWV with 56.7% infection rate in Mucur, CMV with 41.0% in Kaman and ToMV with 77.8% in Central district were determined as the most common viruses. This study has the characteristics of the first research on the identification of viruses in tomato and pepper production areas of Kırşehir. It has emphasized the impact of ToMV and TSWV on cultivation by revealing the prevalence and diversity of viral diseases in tomato and pepper production areas in Kırşehir. Consequently, it is recommended that the use of resistant varieties, control of vectors, avoiding mono-culture production, reducing the use of infected seeds/seedlings and the application of integrated pest management for effective control of plant viruses in the region.
