More than 70 whitefly borne viral diseases have been reported on cultivated plants and weeds from ttopical and subtropical regions (Cohen 1990). Muniappa (1980) in his critical review listed 65 viral diseases transmitted by whiteflies. The present studies were carried out to determine whether the cardamom whitefly, Kanakarajiella cardamomi (David and Subramaniam), an important pest on cardamom, acts as a vector of the NNV disease.
