Aphid is the carrier of pea mosaic. Both nymphs and adults of this insect suck the sap from twigs, tender leaves, stems and inflorescence. Due to this the leaves are twisted and deformed. And there is dwarfism in the plants. This insect secretes honeydew, which hinders the process of photosynthesis. And the leaves turn yellow and start drying.
