The magnetic properties of the solid solutions URu_{1-x}Pd_{x}Ge with x = 0.1 - 0.9, crystallizing in the orthorhombic TiNiSi-type structure, were investigated by ac magnetic susceptibility and dc magnetization measurements. The experimental data reveal that there are three different regions of magnetic behaviour. A nonmagnetic ground state occurs for x < 0.3, however, as the Pd concentration is increased, the antiferromagnetism is stabilized for x=0.35 - 0.8, and two successive transitions, antiferro- and ferromagnetic, emerge in the x=0.9 composition.
