What you will see

Chlorotic spots, bands or rings and vein clearing on leaves (best seen in spring). On fruit, chlorotic spots or rings; fruit may be deformed with browning of the flesh; on apricot stones often pale rings. Fruit drops prematurely.

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Plant only healthy certified (virus-free) saplings.
    • Choose tolerant or resistant varieties.
    • The virus is spread by aphids and by grafting/propagating from infected plants; most spread is within a few hundred metres of the source.
  2. By handThere is no cure for the virus in orchards. Infected trees are removed (eradication), which lowers infection pressure.
  3. Chemical — only when nothing else helpsAphid products and mineral oils have only limited effect (mainly in nurseries); a product authorised in your country against vectors (aphids) only if the other steps are not enough.
