— Infected plants should be removed. — Remove and destroy disease-affected leaves/plants from crop fields to avoid secondary spread. — Destroy host weeds. Intercrop with non host crops like sorghum, pearl millet and maize.
Can TMV be treated?
There are no cures for viral diseases such as mosaic once a plant is infected. As a result, every effort should be made to prevent the disease from entering your garden. Fungicides will NOT treat this viral disease. Plant resistant varieties when available or purchase transplants from a reputable source.

TMV is very easily transmitted when an infected leaf rubs against a leaf of a healthy plant, by contaminated tools, and occasionally by workers whose hands become contaminated with TMV after smoking cigarettes.
What are the symptoms of tobacco mosaic virus?
Symptoms associated with TMV infections:
- stunting.
- mosaic pattern of light and dark green (or yellow and green) on the leaves.
- malformation of leaves or growing points.
- yellow streaking of leaves (especially monocots)
- yellow spotting on leaves.
- distinct yellowing only of veins.
How can we prevent cucumber mosaic virus?
Management
- Purchase virus-free plants.
- Maintain strict aphid control.
- Remove all weeds since these may harbor both CMV and aphids.
- Immediately set aside plants with the above symptoms and obtain a diagnosis.
- Discard virus infected plants.
- Disinfest tools used for vegetative propagation frequently.
Does mosaic virus stay in soil?

Does bleach kill mosaic virus?
(33) found that undiluted skim milk inactivated Cymbidium mosaic virus (CyMV) on a local lesion host and commercial bleach inactivated both CyMV and Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) at 10% or 20% concentration.
