First report of tomato black ring nepovirus in Greece
During a survey carried out in 1993-1995, sugar beet plants in the some areas of north-western Greece showed yellow ringspots on the leaves. It was showed that these plants were infected by tomato black ring nepovirus (EU Annex II/A2). The authors noted that this is the first report of tomato black ring nepovirus in Greece; so far it seems likely that it will not cause serious problems to beet growers.
