Abstract
Wheat cv. 'Grana' grown under field conditions was sprayed with solutions of Ethrel (500, 1000 and 3000 ppm) in three phases of plant development: tillering, appearance of the first node of a culm and coming into ear. The plant analysis was done seven days after the last spray. It has been found that Ethrel treatment decreased the length of a straw, reduced plant susceptibility to <i>Cercosporella herpotrichoides</i>nfection and that with species of the <i>Fusarium</i> genus. On the other hand it increased wheat susceptibility to <i>Erysiphe graminis</i> infection, and particularly to that with <i>Puccinia triticina</i>. Ethrel slightly affected the mycoflora of the root zone - it significantly increased only the percentage of species of the genus <i>Penicillium</i> and reduced that of <i>Mucor hiemalis</i>. The Ethrel effect on the specific composition of rhizoplane mycoflora proved to be insignificant.
