Abstract
Chlorotic dwarf (CD), the most important disease in the sweet potato-produc ing regions of Argentina, is caused by the synergistic combination of two a phid-transmitted potyviruses with a whitefly-transmitted crinivirus. Sweet potato feathery mottle virus, sweet potato mild speckling virus, and a crin ivirus (serologically related to sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus) were a ssociated with CD. The synergistic combination of these three viruses repro duced the disease.
