Abstract Begomoviruses are major constraint in tomato production across the world. In India, tomato production is affected by both monopartite and bipartite begomoviruses. Monopartite were reported to infect tomato crop across India. However, bipartite were reported to infect tomato in Nothern India. In the current study, seventy begomovirus symptomatic tomato samples were collected from southernstates of India and analysed using PCR-based specific primer. The analysis revealed that 45 of them were monopartite, 23 of them were bipartite and 8 bipartite also showed the presence of betasatellite. This is the first report of bipartite begomovirus infecting tomato in Southern India.
