How SMV virus Transmit
About 30% or more of the seeds from SMV-infected soybean plants carry SMV depending on the cultivar and time of infection before flowering. Weeds and other plants may also serve as a reservoir for SMV. Further spread within and among soybean fields is through the aphid species.

1 Regular awareness and training to the farmers as a mass campaign be conducted. 2. Monitoring and management of white flies on alternate hosts like summer moong etc. 3. Use of resistant varieties viz. PS 1042, PS 1347, PS 1368, PS 1092, PS 1225, Pusa 97 & Pusa 12 for Northern Plain zone; JS 20-29, JS 20-69, JS 97-52 & RKS 24 for Central zone; PS 1029 for Southern zone and JS 97-52 for Northeastern zone.

- Apply a recommended dose of fertilizer and Farmyard manure for good crop growth. 8. Keep the field weed-free up to 45 days after sowing. 9. Removal and destruction of infested plants showing virus symptoms.
- Spray on standing crop with recommended chemicals like Confidor to control aphids 11. It is also advised to spray the crop with Soloman (Betacyfluthrin + Imidacloprid) 140 ml/acre ). These chemicals are also useful for the control of stem fly infestation. 12. Use yellow sticky traps (20-25 traps/ha) to trap adult white flies.
