SUMMARY Arabis mosaic virus (AMV) was found in several West Midland raspberry crops of cv. Mailing Promise and in one of Mailing Exploit, associated with stunted patches and yellow mosaic patterns on the leaves. AMV was not found in Mailing Jewel, even when adjacent to affected Mailing Promise and showing similar deterioration, but strawberry latent ringspot virus (SLRV) was isolated from affected plants of the former cultivar at two sites. Xiphinema diversicaudatum , the nematode vector of both viruses, occurred in soil samples from affected fields and when cucumber plants were grown in soil from one of the proven SLRV sites they became infected. Similarly, the virus was demonstrated in soil from where cv. Mailing Jewel had failed and been grubbed the previous autumn.
