The investigations included three varieties of Triticum aestvum subsp.spelt and one variety of Triticum aestivum subsp. vulgare in the conditions of organicsystem production. Among causes of moulds, the most distributed were the varieties ofAlternaria species which infection in unhulled spelt ranged up to 100%. The infection ofspelt grain with fungi of Alternaria species decreased after the dehulling process andranged from 16% in the variety Nirvana to 13% in the variety Ostro.Key words: grain of Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta, mouldsINTRODUCTIONSpelt (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelt) is an old hulled subspecies of wheat that has latelybeen grown more frequently in the system of organic certified food for humans andanimals. The prerequisites that this wheat has for this very system is the possibility ofproduction without the application of mineral fertilizers and pesticides, but also theexistence of the protective hull which protects the grain from the pathogenes (1, 2, 6).Recently, there exist numerous international publicatios that compare the yield andnutritive values of spelt and bread wheat (3, 9, 10, 12, 15).From the point of view of health safety foodstuffs obtained by the processing of grainsof wheats, it is necessary to establish the mycopoulation of each seed party. Wheatgrains in the field represent a valuable substrate for the development of great number ofphytopathogenic and saphrophyte microorganisms that affect adversely the quality, witha significant number of them producing toxins that are harmful for the health of humansand animals. Fungi most frequently isolated from the grains of wheat come from thespecies Fusarium, Alternaria, Mucor, Bipolaris, Epicoccum, Cladosporium, Penicillumand others (7, 8, 16).The aim of the investigation in this paper is investigating of mycopopulations of wheatthat developed in weather conditions of growing production during 2008-2009 at BackaTopola location. The investigations included three varieties of Triticum aestvum subsp.spelt and one variety of Triticum aestivum ssp. vulgare in the conditions of organicsystem production.118
