Abstract	Summary: The multiplication of Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV) was studied in mixtures of two winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars, one susceptible (Soissons) and the other resistant (Tremie). Two seed mixtures of susceptible and resistant varieties in ratios of 1:1 and 1:3 and their component pure stands, i.e. each variety grown separately, were grown in a field infected with SBWMV. The presence of the virus was detected using DAS-ELISA from January to May. The resistant cultivar Tremie showed no foliar symptoms nor could the virus be detected in the leaves or roots. In May, about 88% of plants of susceptible cultivar Soissons grown in pure stands were infected. At this time, the disease reduction relative to pure stands was 32.2% in the 1:1 mixture and 39.8% in the 1:3 mixture. Optical density (OD) values from ELISA of the infected plants in the two mixtures were consistently lower than that of the infected plants in cultivar Soissons in pure stands. The ELISA index (EI) calculated using three scales of OD values was 65.5% in the susceptible cultivar in pure stands. The value for this index was 19.1% in the 1:1 mixture and 7.9% in the 1:3 mixture. The plants of the resistant cultivar Tremie infected in the same field and transferred in January to a growth cabinet at 15 degrees C multiplied the virus and produced viruliferous zoospores. These results show that the resistant cultivar Tremie plays a role in disease reduction in the cultivar mixtures in field conditions. Possible reasons for this are discussed
