The obtained results suggest that the tested lines were susceptible to the attack, and that in years climatically favourable for the occurrence and development of Fusarium graminearum, severe outbreaks of this disease on spikes can be expected. It inevitably leads to high yield reductions, and in seed production of these lines created danger of severe infection which can result in failure to obtain certificate for seeds as commodity, according to our current regulations.

Other diseases that occurred, first of all powdery mildew on leaves were of the same intensity in all variants of trials and did not have any effect on ultimate results of trials.

Instead of a conclusion, one needs to emphasize that in some years the problem of fusarium head blight is pronouncedly manifested. In our struggle for reduced influence of this fungus on yield, all available means should be used -- from cultural practices to development of resistant and tolerant varieties. Unfortunately, chemical protection does not give reliable and safe effects at presents, but they seem to be sporadic and depend more on timing rather than on the effectiveness of the fungicide itself.

Author's would like to thank Viktorija Vlahavic M. Sc. for her identification of Fusarium species.
