The influence of abiotic factors on the charcoal rot incidence caused by the fungus M. phaseolina has been analysed statistically by subjecting weekly weather data with disease incidence data to Multiple Linear Regression analysis. It revealed that there was no significant relation was observed in rainfall and minimum temperature with disease incidence. There was a progressive increase and maximum per cent disease intensity was recorded at optimum high temperature of 28-350 C, relative humidity of 65-80 %, soil temperature at 5 cm (35.60 C) and 10 cm (32.20C). It was congenial for the pathogen to multiply and infect the host.
