Abstract: Chilli (Capsicum annum) is the important vegetable cum spice crop belongs to the family Solanaceae. Chilli crop is prone to many viral diseases, among them Chilli leaf curl disease (ChiLCD) caused by Chilli leaf curl virus (ChiLCV) is one of the most devasting disease and it causes more yield loss. To study the host range of ChiLCV, 12 crop and five weed species were tested. Among the plants tested for host range, three crop species viz., Solanum lycopersicum, Amaranthus tuberculatus and Nicotiana tabacum were exhibited leaf curl symptom whereas three weed species viz., Parthenium hysterophorus, Agricatum conyzoides and Euphorbia geniculate were exhibited bushy plants, leaf curl and reduced leaf size symptoms respectively for ChiLCV.
Keywords: ChiLCV, host range, Solanum lycopersicum
