SCMV00
This virus is often mistaken for Sorghum mosaic virus, as both viruses produce similar symptoms in sugarcane. Its strains are generally host-specific. The virus is transmitted by aphids and is a component of the corn lethal necrosis complex, but it is not known to be seed-transmitted.

SCMV00-2, CABI CPC, DPV WEB
The virus is naturally transmitted by aphids and through mechanical means; however, it can be present in maize seeds, occasionally detected in the pericarp and endosperm, with seed transmission rates reported between 0.5% and 4.8%.

Potyvirus sacchari in maize can be managed by planting certified virus-free seed, using resistant or tolerant varieties, controlling aphid vectors, removing infected crop residue, and practicing good sanitation to prevent mechanical spread. Regular field monitoring for symptoms and vectors also helps reduce virus impact.
