Abstract

Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) was identified in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) plants with tip wilting symptoms in a commercial crop in northern New South Wales, Australia. This is a new disease record for chickpea worldwide as well as for legumes in Australia. Koch’s postulates were satisfied for TuMV as a cause of the tip wilting in chickpea.
