Impact of regurgitant on transmission of a beetle-borne virus (<i>Bean pod mottle virus</i>, BPMV) and a non-beetle transmissible virus (<i>Soybean mosaic virus</i>, SMV) using two different leaf inoculation techniques (mechanical, M and gross wounding, G).

For each inoculum/virus combination, 30 experimental plants were assayed. The percentage of virus-infected plants is shown and the number of infected plants is indicated in parenthesis. Statistical significance between treatments was tested using a Marascuilo procedure (see methods), different superscript letters denote statistically different treatments (P < 0.05).
