© 2020, Koninklijke Nederlandse Planteziektenkundige Vereniging.Soil-borne wheat mosaic disease (SBWMD) caused by wheat stripe mosaic virus (WhSMV) is one of the most important viral diseases of wheat in Brazil. Farmers have used crop rotation (CR) successfully to reduce the incidence of many diseases in wheat. CR can contribute along with genetic resistance in the management of SBWMD. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of CR in SBWMD incidence and wheat yield as compared with wheat monoculture (W). During 2017 and 2018 growth seasons, in a long-term experiment, W and three CR: W1 – white oats-wheat; W2 – vetch-white oats- wheat; and W3 – black oats-barley-black oats-wheat were evaluated using three wheat cultivars: BRS Parrudo (resistant), BRS Reponte (moderately resistant) and BRS Guamirim (susceptible). The rainiest season (2018) was more favorable to the development of the disease. In this year, CR W2 and W3 significantly decreased SBWMD incidence by 90% compared to wheat monoculture. Also, grain yield (GY) differences between CR were higher in the rainiest season. GY increases up to 58% (BRS Reponte), 81% (BRS Guamirim) and 106% (BRS Parrudo) in W2 and W3. The use of plant species that are non-hosts of WhSMV may be one of the main factors that contribute to the reduction of SBWMD levels.
