Additional on yellowing-  The chlorosis typically associated with viral 
diseases usually assumes a 'mottled' pattern.  We saw a lot of this in Jamaica as 
the result of a couple of different virus problems.  Some affected the veins of 
the leaf, some the rest of the leaf.  Some were very pronounced, some others 
were not.  It is also unusual for viral damage to show up this early in the 
plants' life.  What makes them so insidious is that they can be infected quite 
early, but not show up until late in the season.  Naturally, it comes well after 
the time you can scrap your crop & try again.
