Virus Report-Many Virused Orchids

[VickiC]

Hello everyone,
Tragedy has struck my greenhouse.
A few years ago, I decided to have 6 of my orchids virus tested by Critter Creek. Test results-some virused, some not- with either CymMV or ORSV-or infected with both. After researching more, I decided to keep the virused ones that seemed to perform well and continue to disinfect my tools, etc. -more diligently than I had in the past. Again-that incident happened a few years ago.

I decided to test again just recently and rec'd the virus test report from Critter Creek today. I was horribly surprised at the test results. Of my entire collection of 60 plants that were tested, 52 were infected with either CymMV or ORSV-or with both. Before I sent samples for testing, I had definitely decided that I was not going to keep ANY virused plants this time. Even though the test results were so awfully negative, I still do not want virused orchids in my greenhouse anymore. I understand that a 100% orchid virus test does not exist, but I want to feel that I've done the best I can do. I really, really hate to discard so many orchids, but I feel that I should this time.
I would very much appreciate your input, but my question to you is how do I disinfect my entire greenhouse...or is it common practice to do so after clearing out virused plants?
Thank you so much for reading my "book" and for the advice that I hope I receive from you.
Vicki
