Summary
2 kinds of interrelationship between cucumis virus-3 and powdery mildew fungus in bottle gourd were noted. The fungal conidia transmitted the mosaic virus infection from infected to healthy bottle gourd plants with ease. The transmission relation was found to be external. Powdery mildew symptoms were restricted on mosaic infected leaves and appeared late, while virus symptoms appeared precociously in mildew infected plants.
