During two seasons surveys of 2011-12 and 2012-13 in five districts, namely, Banswara, Bundi, Chittorgarh, Kota and Udaipur, the highest mean disease severity and White fly populations were recorded in Kota and Banswara, respectively the minimum were recorded in Bundi district. The variety JS-335 that covers maximum area in Rajasthan was found susceptible to YMD. YMD infection produced the symptoms like yellow mosaic, complete yellowing, size reduction, slight puckering of leaves, stunting of flower stalk bearing few flowers and yellow pods with immature and shrivelled seeds.
