  abstract = {{T}he effect of contamination of rice seedlings by {R}ice yellow mottle virus ({RYMV}) in seedbeds on the onset and spread of rice yellow mottle in the field was investigated. {R}ice seedlings were artificially contaminated in seedbeds at different rates (0.1, 0.5, and 2.5%) and pooled in bundles before transplantation, as done by farmers. {RYMV} was successfully transmitted through contaminated hands and bundling healthy and diseased seedlings together. {H}and contamination was responsible for 4.5% infection. {D}isease incidence in the field after secondary spread reached 32% for 2.5% seedbed contamination rate but remained limited (less than 10%) for all other rates. {E}radicating infected plants from seedbeds lessened disease incidence in the field. {T}his technique may be used in conjunction with other prophylactic measures to efficiently control rice yellow mottle disease.},
