Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) of the family Geminiviridae is a serious production constraint to tomato. In the southeastern United States the virus has been largely confined to Florida. The disease appeared in the southern most Georgia county (Decatur) in 1998, at an incidence rate of less than 1%. During the fall of 1999, tomato plants showing symptoms indicative of TYLCV were observed in commercial fields in Grady, Colquitt, and Lowndes counties and the experimental plots of the Coastal Plain Experiment Station in two locations in Tift County, GA.
