Citrullus lanatus

watermelon

No

ALTECU-3, ALTECU-4

Pathway not proven. According to Thomas,1996, artificially infested seed has resulted in seedling infection, but infection was low. Spread from naturally infested seed has not been demonstrated.

No

Seed treatments are often inferred as effective, but no data exists and seed has not been proven to be a pathway.

A quality systems approach in production of the seeds with crop inspections, careful selection of healthy fruits and seed conditioning and cleaning should be used to ensure seed quality and reduce unwanted seed contaminants.

ALTECU-4

Cucumis melo

melon

No

ALTECU-2

Pathway not proven. According to Thomas,1996, artificially infested seed has resulted in seedling infection, but infection was low. Spread from naturally infested seed has not been demonstrated.
