What is it about?
This study was conducted to understand the relationship between disease incidence of both FHB and FCR and physiochemical analysis for soil samples that promote causal agents to cause these diseases and environmental factors that could decrease and/or increase symptoms on wheat by calculating infected plant parts (root, crown, stem and head) at symptom occurrence.

Why is it important?
This research has for the first time conducted to investigate the interaction between important environmental conditions and disease incidence of both FHB and FCR of wheat in Iraq.
Perspectives
The results of this study showed that weather conditions were a great factor for encouraging both diseases during the growing season. No association were found between disease incidence and pH, EC values, soil texture, total nitrogen, concentration of calcium, potassium and phosphorous in all examined wheat fields. Soils with high contents of SOM, SOC and CEC were confirmed reducing the occurrence of both diseases on wheat.
