Abstract
Losses in both fibre yield, seed yield and fibre quality of Mesta crops infected with Mesta Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus has been studied. Estimation of yield losses were compared in field condition in infected and uninfected Mesta plants with varying fertilizers regimes. The study was conducted in three different farmers’ field of Basirhat District of West Bengal, India for consecutive three years. Results showed that the disease caused considerable yield losses in Mesta plants. Further, infected plants showed reduction of fibre fineness and fibre strength, and this caused reduction of fibre quality in diseased crop.
