EPIDEMIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF MUNGBEAN YELLOW MOSAIC VIRUS, A YELLOW PLAGUE OF KHARIF PULSES IN INDIA

摘要

Pulses are considered to be the important source of dietary protein to predominantly vegetarian population of India, However, the pulses have remained the weakest spot of Indian Agriculture despite the enormous strides made by the Green Revolution.
