ToBRFV
The number of tomato-farms which have been infected with the Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) has recently increased. This is a fast spreading virus, and farmers can risk losing up to 70% of their production if their greenhouses are infected. Currently, researchers are investingating how to breed new tomato sorts which are resistant to the virus. However, until then greenhouse farmers need to take their precautions to prevent ToBRFV.
How to avoid virus spread
- Avoid visiting multiple greenhouses and avoid multiple visitors in your greenhouse
- Always disinfect before entering a greenhouse or switching between greenhouses
- Avoid bringing accesories into the greenhouse or between greenhouses
- Use gloves when touching the crops and remember to change them regularly
- Wash working clothes properly after working in the greenhouse
