Potent plant antivirals are disclosed along with their method of use. These antivirals, 5',5'- or 2',5'- or 3',5'-pyrophosphorylated-dinucleotides, are specifically shown to inhibit tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) replication in tobacco plants when applied to the leaves or through the roots of these plants. These antiviral compounds can also be used to treat a variety of other plants, as disclosed herein, which are susceptible to a broad range of viruses.
