Cultural Control of peanut bud necrosis virus

• Early sown crop during kharif and rabi/summer seasons is less infected.

• Grow resistant varieties.

• Destruct alternate weed hosts like Bidens pilosa, Erigon bonariensis, Tagetes minuta, Trifolium subterraneum.

• Increase plant density, do early sowing, mixed cropping with pearl millet to restrict vector movement.

• Groundnut should be intercropped with fast growing cereal crops such as pearl millet in 7:1 ratio.
