Sažetak
In the time of harvest in July 1998 wheat infected with common bunt was observed on fields in the Drava-Danube region of eastern Croatia that had been ocupied. This disease can be caused by four Tilletia species. On wheat there are two more species that cause a different type of symptoms and they are: Dwarf bunt (T. controversa Kuhn, syn. T. brevifaciens, T. nanifica) and Karnal bunt (T. indica Mitra, syn. Neovossia indica). Considering that in previous years a ship with wheat contaminated by T. indica circled around the Mediterranean, we had to exclude the presence of this, for many European countries, quarantine pathogen. After many analyses we found only T. caries. Usually there was a strong infection, so the grain was not appropriate for human nor for cattle consumption. Therefore, 180 tons of wheat grain were destroyed. This almost forgotten, and after the introduction of fungicides for seed treating, almost exterminated disease causes minimal damage in countries which use treated seed.
