1 3 Cotton leaf curl virus (CLCV) is a very dangerous disease and is spreading in Sindh after Punjab and it affects whole cotton plant which results in drastically low cotton production. The survey report suggests that the disease was present in Ghotki, Sukkur, Khairpur, Noushehroferoz and Nawabshah districts. However, Dadu, Hyderabad, Sanghar, Tharparkar, Mirpurkhas and Umerkot districts were found disease free. It indicates that the disease has traveled up to central part of Sindh province. However, lower Sindh and the areas adjacent to the central parts are still free from this disease. High intensity was observed in Ghotki and showed decreasing trend in the areas far from Ghotki and thus low intensity was found in Nawabshah district.
