. 1998. Effects of crop rotations and fertilizer management on leaf spotting diseases of wheat in southwestern Saskatchewan. Can. J. Plant Sci. 78: [489][490][491][492][493][494][495][496]. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of crop sequence, summerfallow frequency, and fertilizer application, on the severity of leaf spotting diseases of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). In the field experiment examined, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Died.) Drechs. was the pathogen most commonly isolated from lesioned leaf tissue, followed by stagonospora blotch (Phaeosphaeria nodorum [E. Müller] Hedjaroude). The severity of leaf spots in wheat after fallow was greater than in monoculture continuous wheat, or in wheat after a noncereal crop. Percent area with leaf spots in wheat grown after wheat was higher than in wheat grown after flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) or lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) in years with high disease pressure (1995 and 1996), but not in 1993 or 1994 when overall disease levels were low. Under soil N-deficient conditions, leaf spot levels increased in years with dry summers (1994 and 1996), whereas a P deficiency decreased leaf spot severity in years that had cool and wet springs (1995 and 1996). A survey of producers' fields confirmed the observations made in the research plots, in particular, wheat after wheat was not more severely diseased than wheat grown in rotation with a noncereal crop. We concluded that the use of fallow, or 1 yr of rotation with a noncereal crop, will not reduce leaf spotting diseases of spring wheat in southwestern Saskatchewan. The best rotation aimed at reducing the levels of disease appeared to be 2 consecutive years of spring wheat, followed by at least 2 yr of a noncereal crop, or by a noncereal crop and summerfallow.Key words: Leaf spot, tan spot, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, stagonospora blotch, Phaeosphaeria nodorum, septoria blotch, Mycosphaerella graminicola, crop rotation, tillage, fertility Fernandez, M.

Effets des rotations des cultures et de la conduite de la fumure sur l'incidence des taches foliaires chez le blé de printemps dans le sud-ouest de la Saskatchewan. Can. J. Plant Sci. 78: 489-496. L'objet de nos travaux était de déterminer les effets de la séquence culturale, de la fréquence d'insertion de la jachère et de la fumure sur la gravité des taches foliaires dans les cultures de blé de printemps (Triticum aestivum L.). Dans l'expérience, réalisée au champ, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Died.) Drechs. était l'agent pathogène le plus couramment mis en évi-dence dans les lésions foliaires, suivi de Phaeosphaeria nodorum (F. Muller) Hedjaroude, la tache des glumes. La gravité des taches foliaires du blé après une jachère était plus forte qu'en culture du blé en continu ou qu'après une culture non céréalière. La proportion de la surface foliaire recouverte par les taches était plus grande dans une deuxième sole successive de blé que dans une sole de blé succédant à une sole de l...
