Abstract
Transmission of sugarcane mosaic potyvirus from corn to corn by six aphid species viz. Myzus persicae, Schizaphis graminum, Aphis gossypii, Rhopalosiphum maidis, R. padi and Sitobion avenae was investigated. Sugarcane mosaic virus has a non-persistent or stylet-borne relationship with its aphid vectors. Rate of transmission was highest for R. maidis and R. padi (92%), followed by S. graminum (72%), whereas, Sitobion avenae failed to transmit SCMV. Key words: Aphid, transmission, sugarcane mosaic virus, SCMV, Saccharum officinarum.
