Treatment
There is no known cure for the Hemp Mosaic Virus or other Tobamoviruses. Once a plant has become infected with the virus the host will never be free from infection. The virus is most often cured through incineration of the infected tissues. Plants do have a natural defense in the form of a protein coating that protects the plants RNA. Different strains have varying resiliencies to Hemp Mosaic Virus due to varying levels of the hormone responsible for the production of the protective protein coatings. RNA Pro is a prohormone product that helps stimulate the plants manufacture of that protective protein coating, making the virus' ability to attach to the plant's RNA more difficult. It is the only known treatment for Hemp Mosaic Virus and all other Tobamovirus strains.

“If the study of all these sciences, which we have enumerated, should ever bring us to their mutual association and relationship, and teach us the nature of the ties which bind them together, I believe that the diligent treatment of them will forward the objects which we have in view, and that the labor, which otherwise would be fruitless, will be well bestowed.”
