Aphid movement and aphid-borne virus spread in mixed cropping systems of legumes and cereals

Growing legumes in combination with non-hosts of legume viruses is a cultural practice that has been observed to suppress aphid-borne virus epidemics in indigenous farming systems. This study was aimed at unraveling the physical and biological relationships that affect aphid dispersal and the consequent spread of aphid-borne legume viruses in mixtures of snapbean and maize or soybean and sorghum.
