Abstract

Inhibition of Infectivity of Ridge Gourd mosaic virus has been studied by taking latex from ten angiospermic plants belonging to different families namelyArgemone maxicana(Papavaraceae), Artocarpus integrifolia, Ficus elastica (Moracea), Calotropis procera (Asclepiadaceae),Euphorbia hirta, Euphorbia antiquorum, Euphorbia royleana, Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae) andVinca rosea (Apocyanaceae). The latex fromJatropha curcas showed maximum inhibitory activity for Ridge Gourd mosaic virus.
