The study was performed in 2000–2002, on winter wheat cv. Mikon in the third year of monoculture. The severity of root rot increased throughout the growing season. The highest infection was noted in the treatment with early sowing and without seed dressing. The application of two seed dressing chemicals (Raxil 020 FS and Latitude 125 FS) instead of one (Raxil 020 FS) had a more beneficial effect on the health status of wheat roots. Later sowing contributed to more effective control of Gaeumannomyces graminis. The effect of experimental factors on the incidence of root and foot rot was observed until the flowering stage.
