Peach (Prunus persica) cv. July Elberta plants were surveyed from april to august in 2016 at various locations of major peach growing districts (Solan, Shimla and Sirmour) of Himachal Pradesh for the presence of Prunus Necrotic Ring Spot Virus (PNRSV) on the basis of symptoms exhibited by leaves and fruit prior to harvesting. Based on visual symptoms, percentage of incidence was found to range between 1-18 percent. PNRSV, being a latent virus cannot be assessed by symptoms alone. Thus, DAS-ELISA proved to be a quick and reliable method to confirm the presence of the virus. Cherry, Plum and Apricot were also indexed serologically to establish the host range of PNRSV.
