Abstract

• Yellow leaf spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis) was more prevalent in monoculture wheat and the cereal rotation compared to all other rotation sequences
• Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia solani were favoured by cereal dominated rotations
• Pythium spp. and Pratylenchus neglectus were favoured by more diverse rotations
• Farmers require up-to-date information on the host status of crops if rotation is going to be an effective broad-based control measure in a no-till system
