This word is very popular today. It is used in a wide variety of situations. But we will talk about the virus that causes the disease of the plant with that name. Most often, the virus loves to infect the black currant
Terry
Word"
terry »People say, as a rule, when they want to especially emphasize any feature, addiction, or human action.
For example, quite recently people pronounced the word "communist" with respect and hope, believing that such a person will not deceive, will not betray, but will help to find the right path to a better life. There were many such real communists in the country. But, unfortunately, those who were "at the helm" of the country very quickly changed their orientation, thereby casting a gloomy shadow on all communists.
Therefore, today, those people who did not betray the ideals of the communist idea began to be called "terry communists", pronouncing these two words with sarcasm and special cynicism.
When it comes to the shape of plant flowers, the word "terry" is associated with special beauty and splendor. So that flowers from simple ones, as the Almighty himself created them, turned into double ones, breeders work vigilantly, interfering with plant genetics. Sometimes they change the structure of the flower in such a way that it becomes lush and elegant, but loses the ability to give birth to seeds, that is, it turns the entire plant into an asexual creature.
Viral disease
The flowers of black currant, infected by the virus, do not turn into lush and elegant, but on the contrary, change the oval shape of the petals to narrowly linear, become smaller and turn from pinkish or lilac to purple.
But the worst thing is that the flowers become unable to perform their main function - to create fruit ovaries. In this they are similar to many artificially bred decorative double flowers.
Virus acts on currant leaves, reducing the number of blades from five to three and depriving them of the specific currant aroma for which we love the plant.
A currant bush infected with a virus that causes a disease called"
Terry , Not only loses the harvest of black sweet and sour berries, but also deprives the gardener of a pleasant tea-drinking with the scent of currant leaves, since the virus penetrates the entire bush.
Fighting the virus
If people have learned to cope with some viruses that threaten human health, then we are still unarmed in front of a virus that infects black currants. Penetrating into the sap of the plant, the virus spreads to all parts of the plant, killing it.
Even pruning branches already infected with the virus will not bring positive results, and therefore the entire diseased bush should be removed in order to save other bushes from infection.
Where does the virus come from
The virus can enter the site with new seedlings purchased from random sellers. To keep your garden safe, you should buy new items from specialized horticultural farms that have proven themselves and their products.
In addition, the fertile voracious aphid and the currant kidney mite, with the latter being the leader, are carriers of the virus.
Prevention of disease
If we have not yet learned how to fight the virus, then with the old acquaintance - the aphid, as well as with the currant kidney mite, the person has developed a number of power techniques. They are described in articles entirely devoted to these insects.
The more successful the results of the fight against these two vectors of the virus, the more chances are to save the currants from the disease.
In addition, it is necessary to help the currants to strengthen the plant's immunity. This is done by properly feeding the bushes with fertilizers.
It is noticed that nitrogen fertilizers contribute to the development of the disease. This means that you should not get carried away with nitrogen fertilizers.
The addition of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers to the soil, as well as feeding with a solution of microelements (manganese, boron, molybdenum) along currant leaves, helps to increase the plant's resistance to the terry virus.

Terry, or reversion of black currant is a very dangerous viral disease, especially common in the Central and Northwest regions. The main carrier of such a misfortune is the kidney currant mite.
