TSWV stands for tomato spotted wilt virus, which is a serious disease that can spread to 35 different plant families. This year, the virus has spread into the peanut crop and has made some serious economic impacts. Scott Montfort, University of Georgia (UGA Cooperative Extension peanut agronomist, said, “We have gotten somewhat complacent about what we do. We are planting in April and planting a third of the crop in April. That pushes that risk up.”
