Among the viral diseases, Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is believed to have economic significance in India. Soybean mosaic is found in almost all soybean growing areas of India but usually in low to moderate intensity. Soybean plants infected with SMV were collected from different locations of Akola, Maharashtra, India. Symptoms of SMV in soybean include mosaic, rolling and puckering of foliage and chlorosis of older leaves with stunted growth. The SMV was readily sap transmissible to test plants. The virus inoculums was prepared in 0.5M Potassium phosphate buffer (pH 6.5) and inoculated into test plants (i.e., soybean and cowpea). Inoculated plants were observed 2-3 days after inoculation (DAI) for the development of symptoms. Symptoms like light and dark green patches on upper leaves and initial chlorotic spots were observed. Host range study was done from sap inoculation to understand different host of the SMV.
