520 _aSoil microflora is important for sustainable agriculture as its activity contributes to increasing agricultura1 production. Disease susceptibility of crops may be lowered by better understanding the interactions between pathogens and crop residue and then modifying local environmental conditions, crop rotations, tillage practices, and antagonistic mycoflora accordingly. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of zero tillage on soil borne cereal diseases in rice-wheat cropping systems in Pakistan. The study found no distinct difference in the presence of fungi associated with foliar and root diseases of wheat and rice in zero and conventional tillage systems. Isolating fungi from plant parts and soil on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium showed little variation between zero tillage and conventiona1 tillage. Total fungal colony counts showed that reduced tillage could be enhancing the diversity of soil mycoflora; but the sca1e of the current study was insufficient to give definitive results on the effect of reduced tillage on the survival of pathogens in soil.
