| Abstract | The study was conducted under field conditions in the course of three years. The effect of Cucumber Mosaic Virus on tomato growth and fruiting performance was examined with infection applied at different stages of plant development, ranging from cotyledons to early fruit produce. The tomato plants inoculated in the earliest development, ranging (cotyledons and 2 th true leaf) reached only 45-46% of the healthy plants'height, while those ones infected in the fruiting stage arrived to 96-98 %. The mass of tomato plants'stem, infected at different age, ranged from 48% to 89 %, while the roots'weight changed from 51% to 89 % of the respective values in non-inoculated plants. The growth depression index dropped from 55 % to 17 % and fruiting one - from 65% to 12 %, which depended on tomato plants age at the time of inoculation. The infectivity of virus infection effect on tomato plants was found to depend on the stage of development when inovulation was done. |
