Abstract
Seeds of ten cultivars of spring wheat from five different localized breeding stations were tested for seed
health. The same seeds were sown in Radzików in field experiment and its seed health after harvest was evaluated
also. The basic material of wheat was infected by numerous fungi: 36 fungal species belonging to 24
genera and the most often occurred: Alternaria alternata, Epicoccum purpurascens, Fusarium spp.,
Drechslera spp. and B. sorokiniana. It was found significant differences between cultivars for total fungi
occurred on seeds, for seed infection by main pathogens (B. sorokiniana, Drechslera spp. and Fusarium
spp.). Also seeds from breeders were strongly infected by these pathogens in comparison to seeds harvested in
field experiment in Radzików.
