The endemic plant pathogen of rice is causing lot of damage to the crops. It is necessary to identify plant pathogens. The aim and objective of present study is to find out information about different plant pathogens attacking the paddy crop. It is also necessary to find out causes, symptoms and eradications of diseases. Keeping this in view the survey of disease was carried out in fifteen rice fields of Bhandara district. Disease survey was carried out on rice fields in Bhandara District to evalvate different diseases on rice crop and to determine farmers behavior on rice cultivation and to increase awareness about diseases and promote effective and environmentally sound disease management. Disease pressure in rice crop from seedling stage to harvest caused by mainly fungi, bacteria and virus are the most important constraints for low production.
