👉 Boc infection, short for Boc virus infection, refers to an infection caused by the Boc virus, a type of plant virus that primarily affects cucurbits such as cucumbers, melons, and squash. The virus is transmitted through mechanical means, such as contaminated tools or human contact, and can lead to symptoms including yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and distorted fruit. Boc virus infection disrupts normal plant metabolism and defense mechanisms, making the plants more susceptible to secondary infections and reducing crop yield and quality. Management strategies often involve removing infected plants, using resistant varieties, and practicing strict sanitation to prevent spread.
