This study mathematically correlates intensity of cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) with environmental factors (i.e. temperature, rainfall and humidity) and whitefly population in the agriculture system of Pakistan. It has been concluded that humidity and rainfall were directly correlated with the disease. Vector (whitefly) population was the third most influential factor in defining CLCuV intensity, which was also strictly associated with the mean monthly temperature of Pakistan. Mathematical interrelation developed in this study has a capability to predict disease intensity of future months. Therefore, it will be helpful to agriculturists for controlling the viral infection among agricultural areas of Pakistan. The study strongly recommends the immediate practice of measures controlling vector populations just after the detection of small elevations in mean monthly temperature.
