| Abstract: |
Tomato cultivation in rainy season is being endangered and is becoming less profitable because of
tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) infection. Studies were conducted at Agriculture Research
Station, Lumle to assess the incidence of TYLCV and associated yield losses in various
commercial tomato growing pockets of the western hills during the period of 1995 and 1997. The
studies revealed a high incidence of the disease in most tomato growing pockets and yield losses
of 40% or even higher have been reported in some areas like Risingpatan, Tanahun and Kudule, of
western hills of Nepal. Laboratory analysis of the diseased samples by Asian Vegetable Research
and Development Center revealed the presence of three different strains of TYLCV: Banglore I,
Banglore II and Sri Lanka in the western hills. The TYLCV vector, whitefly (Bemisia tabaci
Gen.), was found active throughout the crop growing period in some commercial tomato growing
pockets. Therefore, research on the development of effective TYLCV management technology is
needed to sustain rainy season tomato cultivation in the western hills of Nepal.
