A few days ago, the Plant Inspection and Quarantine Center of the Beijing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau detected for the first time a class II quarantine pest, South mustard mosaic virus, from tulip bulbs imported from the Netherlands. According to quarantine personnel, the virus is easy to spread and does great harm. At present, the relevant departments have fumigated these tulip bulbs.

It is understood that South mustard mosaic virus is a virus that spreads easily and is mainly distributed in Europe, America, Oceania and Japan. It has a wide range of hosts and can infect 174 genera and 215 species of plants, harming vegetables, flowers, trees and other cash crops.

Quarantine officials say the virus can be transmitted through plant seeds, juices, grafting, machinery, dodder, and vector nematodes. Its main hosts are planted in a large area in China, among which soybeans, grapes, cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes and lettuce are more important economic crops in our country. Once the virus spreads in our country, it will cause great losses to our cash crops.
