Long-term research work was performed in the years 1996-2002 on the occurrence and significance of winter wheat glume blotch (Stagonospora nodorum) in the region of middle-southern Poland. It was stated that the disease occurred every year at different intensity and this was dependent on the amount of rainfall during the vegetative period, especially in June. Winter wheat was strongly infected in the years 1999 and 2002 when rainfall in June was the highest. The lowest level of infection was recorded in the year 2000 characterized by the lowest rainfall in this month. Full chemical protection with broad spectrum fungicides performed once at GS 49-55 and always significantly increased grain yield, but the increase was the highest in the years of the highest ear infection by S. nodorum. It was concluded that in experimental period glume blotch of winter wheat could be considered as a disease of the greatest importance in the region of middle-southern Poland, and thus creation a serious threat to winter wheat cultivated in this area
