Abstract

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), a staple vegetable crop in the Solanaceae family, suffers significant yield losses due to the groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV). This thrips-transmitted virus can cause up to 100% yield reduction
depending on the stage of infection. A study conducted in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India during the summer of 2023 and 2024, investigated the epidemiology of GBNV. Using weather correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA), key weather factors influencing the spread of thrips and GBNV were identified. In 2023, the thrips population peaked in mid-April, followed by GBNV incidence in early May. In 2024, thrips peaked in early May, with GBNV incidence reaching its highest levels in the third week of May. This demonstrated a direct correlation between thrips population dynamics and GBNV progression, although variations in timing with observed between the two years. The analysis highlighted temperature and relative humidity (RH) as consistent, critical weather parameters influencing thrips populations and GBNV incidence, particularly with two-week time lags. By correlating weather conditions with thrips and GBNV incidence across various time lags, this study contributes to the development of an
extended-range weather forecast-based GBNV forewarning system. Such a system enhances preparedness and response strategies, mitigating the impact of GBNV on tomato crops and promoting food security. This multidisciplinary approach supports sustainable farming practices in the face of climate uncertainties while bolstering agricultural resilience.
