Abstract

Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) remains the most prevalent viral disease of soybean in the U.S., affecting both soybean yield and quality. This plant virus is spread primarily by bean leaf beetles. The objective of this study was to quantify the temporal and spatial spread of BPMV in three different soybean row spacings (7.5 in., 15 in., and 30 in.).
