Abstract: Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.), being the most important remunerative vegetable and is susceptible to a wide range of viruses which are the major constraints in its production resulting to heavy crop losses. Among these, after Chilli leaf curl virus, Chilli veinal mottle virus (Chi VMV) is the major prevalent virus. Host range studies under glasshouse conditions revealed that Chi VMV is transmitted mechanically. Among 41 host plants tested, nine different plant species (Datura metel, Capsicum annuum, Physalis floridana, Solanum nigrum, Lycopersicon esculentum, Amaranthus spp, Nicotiana tabaccum cv. White Burley, Nicotiana tabaccum cv. Samsun and Capsicum frutescense.) induced characteristic systemic mottling symptoms within 7 to 14 days of inoculation. The rest of the hosts remained asymptomatic.
