Question:

What is the mode of transmission of disease 'Yellow vein mosaic of bhindi (okra)'?

Options:

Insect

Seeds

Water

Air

Correct Answer:

Insect

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1)- Insect

The mode of transmission of the disease "Yellow vein mosaic of bhindi (okra)" is typically through Insects.

Explanation:

  • Yellow vein mosaic is a viral disease that affects bhindi (okra) plants.
  • The primary mode of transmission for this disease is through insect vectors, particularly whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci).
  • Whiteflies feed on infected plants and, in the process, acquire the virus. When they subsequently feed on healthy plants, they can transmit the virus, leading to the spread of the disease.
  • While some plant diseases can be transmitted through other means such as seeds, water, or air, yellow vein mosaic of bhindi is commonly associated with insect transmission.

In summary, the primary vector responsible for transmitting the Yellow vein mosaic virus in bhindi plants is the whitefly.
