Summary

Grain yield and incidence of take-all were measured in barley grown continuously and in successive barleys after two crops (oats, beans) not susceptible to the take-all fungus. Without fertilizer N, first barley crops after beans yielded about 1 t/ha more than second barleys and 2 t/ha more than third; growing more barleys did not further lessen yield. With increasing amounts of fertilizer N yields of barleys after barley nearly equalled yields of barley after beans. Take-all increased to a maximum in third barleys and was decreased by N, but it was not possible to separate the effects of take-all andsoil and fertilizer N on yield.
