Sugar‐beet yellows virus, hitherto transmitted only by aphides, can be transmitted mechanically to sugar‐beet if a suitable abrasive is used. Most inoculated leaves develop local lesions, but systemic infection usually occurs in only 10% of the inoculated plants. Systemic symptoms develop more slowly than in plants infected with aphides.
