Main: soybean, bean
BPMV00
Bean Pod Mottle Virus (BPMV) primarily spreads via the bean leaf beetle, which transmits the virus through feeding wounds when regurgitating infected sap. Seed transmission as noted in soybean is rare, occurring at rates under 0.1%, and is not a major pathway.

Chemical, cultural
Cultural practices like delayed planting can reduce infection, with the bean leaf beetle being the primary vector. Early-season insecticide treatments targeting the beetle are most effective for controlling BPMV, as late-season efforts have limited impact.
