Abstract

We integrate nonabelian Toda field equations \cite{Kr} for root systems of types $A$, $B$, $C$, for functions with values in any associative algebra. The solution is expressed via quasideterminants introduced in \cite{GR1},\cite{GR2}, \cite{GR4}. In the appendix we review some results concerning noncommutative versions of other classical integrable equations.
