Transmission of Hop Mosaic by Phorodon humuli (Schrank)

Abstract

MOSAIC disease of hops was first described by Salmon1. Later Thrupp2, and Salmon and Ware3, showed it to be transmissible by grafting. This was followed by the extensive studies of Mackenzie et al.4, who showed that some commercial varieties were symptomless carriers. Growers' observations of spread from carrier varieties to adjacent susceptible hops were confirmed by Keyworth5.
