Ageratum conyzoides L. plants affected with yellow vein disease were collected from Magelang, Bandung, and Purwokerto locations in Indonesia during 2001. A. conyzoides is a naturally occurring weed that is found in and around fields of cultivated pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and tomato (Lycopersicon

Crude extracts and essential oils of A. conyzoides were tested with larva and adult stages of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes to determine their insecticidal properties. The crude extracts and essential oils came from three varieties of A. conyzoides (with white flowers, purple flowers,

A leaf curling disease was observed on 7% of tobacco plants during December 2005 in research plots in the Cangshan District of Fuzhou, Fujian, China. Tobacco plants were infested with Bemisia tabaci, suggesting begomovirus etiology. To identify possible begomoviruses, total DNA was extracted from

Whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses (begomoviruses) cause heavy losses to many food and fiber crops in Pakistan. Many weeds also show symptoms typical of begomoviruses. Ageratum (Ageratum conyzoides) is a common perennial weed in Pakistan, growing along irrigation canals, that often shows symptoms,

Whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses belong to the Geminiviridae family, which includes a group of plant DNA viruses that occurs in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide and caused severe leaf curl diseases on many crops. In July 2011, symptoms of mild yellowing and curling of leaves were

The study describes results of a survey of tomato fields for the presence of begomoviruses from different regions of Peninsular Malaysia. An ORF-based (C2 and C3) study was performed to determine the distribution of begomoviruses associated with a severe leaf curl disease in tomato-growing areas of

Okra leaf curl disease (OLCD), characterized by either upward or downward leaf curl and stunted plant growth, is one of the major diseases of okra (Hibiscus esculentis L.) in Pakistan. OLCD is transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci and is suspected of being associated with a whitefly-transmitted
