Abstract

See full text

The method of controlling tomato plant viruses involves inoculation of an uninfected plant with a combination of a cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-KU1) associated with a naturally occurring benign viral satellite RNA with a mixture of two plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains, namely, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas rhizophilia, in order to protect plants from the virulent CMV virus while promoting plant growth, yield and fruit quality of the tomato that is lost due to the viral infection. The healthy plant leaves are inoculated with the CMV-KU1 virus at the dicotyledonary stage. Simultaneously, the roots of the tomato plants are inoculated with the PGPR mixture. The satellite RNA component of the combination protects plants against a virulent virus (CMV-16), while the PGPR component compensates for growth, yield, and quality loss of tomato seen in the presence of both CMV-KU1 and CMV-16, in addition to strengthening the protection of plants.
