Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) is a plant virus, transmitted by the plasmodiophorid [1] Polymyxa betae. The BNYVV is a member of the genus Benyvirus [2] and is responsible for rhizomania, a disease of sugar beet (Rhizo: root; Mania: madness) that causes proliferation of thin rootlets, and leads to a smaller tap root with reduced sugar content.
Plants may die in severe cases. Pre-emergent herbicides contacting the plants' root system via the soil will cause yellowing foliage. Effects of soil borne herbicide may take several years to clear. [1] Bare-root roses: Plant in late autumn at leaf fall, and from late winter to early spring, before growth resumes.
