Mycopopulation of the Treated Winter Wheat Seed in Eastern Croatia

During eight-year period treated winter wheat seed samples were analysed to study mycopopulation (9 cultivars, 4658 samples). Routine moist chamber method was used. Contamination or infection was recorded in 91.66% of examined samples. Ten fungi genera (Fusarium, Alternaria, Penicillium, Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Bipolaris, Epiccocum, Trichothecium and Rhisopus) were identified on seed samples, with average frequency ranging from 0, 01 to 1, 84%. Fusarium spp. were the most important parasites recorded on wheat seeds, with Fusarium graminearum as the most frequent species (89.27% of all Fusarium isolates). Alternaria spp. were the most important saprophytic fungi.
