ABSTRACT

The paper presents results of 3-year experiment (2001-2003) on the effect of different previous crops (winter wheat, pea, spring barley) and tillage systems (conventional tillage and direct drilling) on the incidence of fungal diseases of leaves, ear, stem base and roots of winter wheat. The highest infection percentage and index for the take-all and brown foot rot diseases were found when winter wheat was sown directly into the stubble. Significantly higher infection with the stem base and root diseases occurred after cereals (spring barley, winter wheat) than after pea. The conventional tillage increased the incidence of leaf and ear diseases of winter wheat as compared with direct drilling, except for the dry year. The occurrence and severity of wheat diseases depended on the previous crops and environmental conditions.

Key words: winter wheat, stem base and root diseases, leaf and ear diseases, previous crop, tillage system.
