Cotton is an important cash Kharif crop of Haryana state (India) occupies 5.76 lakh ha. area with productivity 502 kg/ha. During the last two decades, cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) has been found to be one of the major limiting factors. Therefore, in view of the predominance of CLCuD in Haryana, distribution pattern was studied at farmer’s field during last three consecutive years i.e. kharif, 2013 to 2015. The data of three years exhibited that average per cent disease intensity (PDI) ranged from 0.0 to 28.6. However, highest per cent disease intensity (28.6) was observed in Jind district which is closely followed by 28.1 in Hisar district. In the Non-traditional cotton growing districts i.e. Mohindergarh, Rewari, and Jhajjar, cotton fields were found free from CLCuD. During kharif, 2015, incidence of CLCuD was severe as compare to other preceding years of study in Haryana (India).
