Hi all.
These symptoms of Krossa Regal alarmed me. I use the HVX test stripe "Agdia" and.... a negative result – this is not HVX.



What is it?

There is no doubt that this is a virus and it looks like Tobacco Rattle Virus. I would get rid of it so you don't spread this one into the garden. It affects a lot more plants than just hostas.

Got he same symptoms on my Purple haze and send it to a lab who testet it on a few viruses (like TRV,AMV,HVX,etc) . They told me, that they found no viruse in that plant ( another plant i send them was testet positiv on arabic mosaic virus).....im confused, because the symptomes look exact like they do on your plant........??????

It just sounds like they didn't test for the right virus then. There are so many that are showing up in hostas it is hard to keep up with all of them, and many have similar symptoms. If I saw that, though, there wouldn't be any doubt in my mind that it was virus infected.

thank u Chris.....it must be a virus thats my opinion too....I will keep it in the thrash.....

Thank for your answer.
TRV, AMV??? - I have little information about viruses in the hostas. About the HVX I can read anywhere and everywhere I can see photos of symptoms. Other viruses are treated very superficially. I dont have available to laboratories in which we can tested hosts. Price on HVX test strip is larger than many plants. However three years ago, all his hosts researched stripe tetst HVX. All were free of virus and now I make it to stay that way.
Symptoms of virus infection hosts (in my garden) I have found a second time. The first symptoms of the virus was Spritzer. H. Spritzer already got rid of last season garden.In this plant the HVX test stripe "Agdia" I. .. was also a negative result
I think I made a mistake by giving the same place a new plant.

This was in the previous year Hosta Spritzer:
Symptoms show up differently.

its a virus for sure ....might be arabis mosaic virus or something else.....

Can you recommend any websites where I can find out more (read and see the symptoms) of different viruses in the host. Other than the HVX virus.

Those strips are 3 or 4 times more expensive in Europe than in the US
Not acceptable at all

We may have to join and make an order in US

The big problem with doing that is that they are temperature sensitive and if they get too warm in shipping they can be rendered invalid.

Now I have all the hosts tested and free of the virus HVX.
In Poland Agdia strips are priced at about € 6 one piece. In the U.S. (http://www.agdia.com/hosta/hostapage.html) the purchase of 25 pieces costs about 3,5 € a piece. Shipping costs? I think that the total cost will be similar or not much smaller.
I think the test is too expensive in relation to the price of the plant.

Thank you Ann
