There is a process, maybe used in Australia too, that cures grape vine
cuttings of virus by immersing in hot water for a number of minutes. I
tried this process on some of the first plants to come back with a
positive test. All leaves were lost, and most plants did not recover,
but I am convinced the percentage of recovery could be greatly improved
with the use of some really good systemic fungicides. The few that did
grow on to be very small starts had very bad leaf and bulb spotting that
was obviously a continuation of the virus.
Just getting the virused plants out of the greenhouse is a comfort, as I
am concerned about something as simple as bumping a green root tip
against a wall or bench top, and having the wounded root pick up
something from greenhouse surfaces. I am not worrying about the plants
just sitting next to each other, as it does take an open wound to allow
transmission.

"Interesting. Of course, knowing that the plant is infected does not
take one
much further forward, unless you throw it out. I recall some Australian
experiments (on crop plants) which showed that in common with the sort
of
virus that you or I encounter, high temperatures upset the ability of
the
virus to reproduce. They put infected plants in chambers with light,
100%
humidity and a temperature around 55C for a couple of weeks, from which
they
emerged pale, thin and virus free. I suspect orchids would emerge virus
free
because they, like the viruses, were dead."

Hi Cynthia--
Does the testing service actually identify the particular bacteria or or
virus? I suppose that could get pretty costly but it sure would be
interested to see something more focused on actually specific bugs.

I though some of you might be interested to know that in 1993 Lim, Wong
and
Goh published, in the Annals of Applied Biology, a process to clean
orchid
plants of virus. It was successful.
If anyone does not have access to this journal send me a request off
line
and I will send you a copy.
