Wheat Spindle Streak Mosaic Virus (WSSMV)
Wheat Spindle Streak Mosaic Virus (WSSMV)
Abstract
Wheat spindle streak mosaic (WSSM), also known as wheat yellow mosaic, is a common virus disease that affects only wheat. In most years, WSSM has little to no impact on crops grown in Kentucky. However, significant yield damage can occur in highly susceptible varieties when conditions favor infection and subsequent disease development.
