Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Robinia pseudoacacia mosaic is a common disease of Robinia pseudoacacia. The disease began from April to May in spring. The symptoms are systemic mosaic. The color of the leaves is uneven, some appear light green, dark green mottled, and show bubble spots. Some leaves are deformed; the shape of the leaf becomes narrower and longer, and in severe cases it is linear. Some leaf axil adventitious buds germinate and produce thin branchlets with very short internodes, the leaves are narrow, and the axillary buds of branchlets germinate and draw out branchlets again, so that they germinate and grow step by step, forming a clump of branches and leaves. Affect the normal growth of the tree, after the young tree is damaged, one by one

Robinia pseudoacacia mosaic is a common disease of Robinia pseudoacacia. The disease began from April to May in spring. The symptoms are systemic mosaic.

Some leaf axil adventitious buds germinate and produce thin branchlets with very short internodes, the leaves are narrow, and the axillary buds of branchlets germinate and draw out branchlets again, so that they germinate and grow step by step, forming a clump of branches and leaves. Affect the normal growth of the tree, after the young tree is damaged, gradually form a "small old tree" shape.

The typical diseased leaves of Robinia pseudoacacia mosaic were collected and observed by extraction, differential centrifugation and electron microscope. The pathogen of Robinia pseudoacacia mosaic disease was a virus disease caused by spherical virus. At present, there is no effective prevention and control method. However, when breeding seedlings, do not collect breeding materials from diseased plants; if germs are found, they should be pulled out and destroyed in time to prevent the spread of diseases.
