Immunodiagnosis of eyespot disease in winter wheat cultivated in different production systems

Abstract

The aim of the study carried out in the years 2001-2003 was to determine the occurrence of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides in winter wheat cultivated in different production systems using traditional visible disease assessment and ELISA technique. Pathogen was detected by ELISA test in all years of the study and attained highest level in 2003. The greatest quantities of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides were observed in integrated system and monoculture and significantly lower in conventional production system.
