It depends upon the area in which you are planning the cultivation. The red lady 786 variety is being cultivated in India for very long so it has become susceptible to viruses and other diseases whereas other varieties are new that why these varieties are less prone to disease. In terms of quality, taste, and color, red lady variety is better than all other varieties. Shelf life is also a major factor here, the shelf life of red lady is better than any other varieties available in the market. But if your area has a dense plantation of papaya then you should not go for the red lady.

Dear sir,
In the nursery itself seedlings contains virus may be 5 to 10 % of plants observed after attainment of some growth within 3 to 6 months which may not affect the economic yield.

Removal of infected plants and destroying them.
Contolling aphids, vectors by periodical spraying of systemic insecticides.
