All the test fungicides inhibited mycelial growth of Fusarium oxyporum f. sp. lini, reduced wilt incidence and enhanced grain yield in linseed. The systemic fungicides viz., bavistin, benlate and roko (thiophanate methyl) were more effective, reducing wilt by 82.4, 69.0 and 53.5%, respectively. Next in order and statistically on par were thiram, agrosan G.N., captan and vitavax. The yield increments were in the range of 59.0 to 97.0%.
