In the survey it was found that the important oil seed crop flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) was affected by rust caused by Melampsora lini, leaf blight caused by Alternaria lini and root rot of flax caused by Rhizoctonia solani. Out of total 10 selected localities rust was reported on all 10 samples while Alternaria blight was reported on 8 samples and Rhizoctonia solani on 2 samples. Among these Alternaria blight caused by Alternaria lini is very harmful resulting in heavy loss.
