Soybean Mosaic Virus - Iowa State University Entomology Department

Infected plant leaves are spindly, narrower than normal, have dark green swellings along veins. Plants are stunted, petioles are short, as are the internodes. Infected pods are small, flat, have less hair, and are curved more. Seed germination may be reduced. This virus is seed-borne, can overwinter in perennial weeds, and is spread by aphid species.
