Bean
Pod Mottle
Bean Pod Mottle - Iowa State University Entomology Department
A mild-yellow mottling is seen on the youngest leaves during rapid growth in cool weather. The mottle disappears as plants mature and plants may be slightly stunted, with distorted foliage, misshapen pods, and smaller seeds. The virus overwinters in legumes, clover, or alfalfa and is spread by insect feeding; especially the bean leaf beetle. Symptoms are masked by high temperatures, and are not seen after pod set.
