Significant impact of temperature and humidity on incidence of DYMV was observed. The maximum % incidence was recorded at maximum temperature of 39.7°C and minimum temperature of 24.3 simultaneously with maximum and minimum humidity 55.5 and 30.7, respectively. DYMV incidence caused a huge loss in fruit yield 70.4% and contributing traits such as 61.2% in fruit setting, 64.1% in pods per plant.
