BUXMANN, E et al. Influence of a viral complex on yield and chlorophyl content of two varieties of sweet potato. FAVE. Secc. Cienc. agrar. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.1, pp.31-47. ISSN 1666-7719.

Virus diseases are the main constraint of sweet potato yield, the fifth largest food crop. In Argentina, “yellow curling” (EA), a viral complex with seven agents involved, causes notable losses in all the growing regions. The influence of EA on yield components of Arapey INIA and Beauregard cultivars was analyzed by comparative trials that combined two health conditions and two genotypes. Healthy plants were obtained by thermotherapy and in vitro culture of meristems and the diseased ones, by grafting with EA. There were significant differences between health conditions, in chlorophyll content and losses in yield characters near to 90%. Weight and number of commercial roots were the most affected by EA in both cultivars. This work corroborates the relevance of EA on sweet potato production. Virus free plants and good management practices increase greatly the yields.
