In Denmark, results from 3 long‐term trials showed that yields from barley monoculture were satisfactory on clay soil provided that sufficient nitrogen was supplied. Root diseases, in particular take‐all ( Gaeumannomyces graminis (Sacc.) Arx et Olivier), often stabilized at a rather low level after a period of decline. Mono‐culture of winter wheat gave poor yields compared with barley monoculture. Break crops of white mustard and oats in barley monoculture had a beneficial effect, especially on sandy soil.
