Abstract:
Due to the attack of the main
pathogens agents in the wheat crop the
wheat production is not exploited at the full
potential. Powdery mildew, leaf spot and
rust brown leaves are considered to be the
most widespread and damaging diseases of
wheat. In our country, the attack of these
pathogens is present every year, with
different intensities and it can cause
production damages ranging from 3-4% to
20%. Due to this fact, the main attention of
the farmers is to cultivate resistant wheat
varieties to Blumeria graminis (DC.) Speer.,
Septoria tritici Rob. Desm. and Puccinia
recondita Rob. et Desm. The main objective
of this study was to evaluate the
phytosanitary condition of 24 wheat
varieties cultivated in 2011-2012 at the
Ezăreni didactic Farm from University of
Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary
Medicine of Iaşi, Romania, localized in the
central area of Moldavia. This study
contains data regarding the spread and
evolution of the main pathogens that were
observed at the 24 wheat varieties studied.
These varieties showed different reactions
to different pathogens observed in the same
environmental conditions thus some of them
were resistant to Blumeria graminis (DC.)
Speer. and Septoria tritici Rob. ex. Desm.
attack, and some recorded a disease
incidence of 18.75% at the Puccinia
recondita Rob. et Desm attack.
