Abstract
Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) was mechanically isolated from Ballota nigra showing intensive yellow symptoms on the margins of leaves. The isolation of virus from diseased plants was possible only early in the spring but not in the summer and autumn. The specimens of B. nigra with yellow leaf margins are widely spread in Yugoslavia. This species could be an important reservoir of AMV in nature if this symptom is regularly provoked by AMV.
Naturally infected Origanum vulgare and Ocimum basilicum with AMV were found in the Botanical Garden in Zagreb.
