Therefore, present study was conducted to know the effect of different weather parameters on development of diseases in pea. The weather parameters (temperature, relative humidity and rainfall) were observed and correlated against intensity of various diseases of pea. Maximum wilt diseases incidence of 9.66 per cent was observed at 50th SMW and their related temperature (Maximum temp. 24.4oC, Minimum temp. 7.9oC) and relative humidity (43.3 to 83.3%). Powdery mildew disease incidence was observed as 21.43% at 1st SMW and related temperature were 25oC, 6.6oC (Min.) along with relative humidity between 37.42 and 77.28%. Downy mildew disease incidence was observed as 16.21 per cent at 49th SMW and their related temperatures were (Maximum temp. 25.6oC), (Minimum temp. 9oC) and relative humidity (33.9 to 85.9%).
