Status of begomovirus on soybean crop and virus management strategies.
Soybean is a very important crop from the economic point of view of the farmers, but it has been seen that due to egomovirus (Family Geminiviridae) there is lots of damage to soybean cultivation. Soybean is widely cultivated throughout the country in which the total production of soybean in 2020 was 353million tons, with Brazil accounting for 66% of the production in the United State, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh alone account for 89% of total soybean production in India, followed by Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, and Gujarat with 11% production in these states. Several strategies have been adopted to protect soybean cultivars from begomovirus, including conventional and non-conventional management strategies for virus containment and are described in this article.
