Roving survey was conducted in groundnut growing areas of Western Maharashtra during summer and kharif season 2018-19. In summer season, late leaf spot was the major disease observed in surveyed area. In kharif season, incidence of early leaf spot, late leaf spot and stem rot diseases was recorded. The maximum intensity of early and late leaf spot was 17.46 and 28.57 percent, respectively. Rust incidence was recorded only in kharif season. Late leaf spot was the major disease of groundnut crop in both seasons.
