G84-701 Septoria Leaf Blotch Of Wheat, John E. Watkins
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes the symptoms and disease cycle of this wheat disease, and provides recommendations for its control.
Two species of Septoria fungi infect winter wheat in Nebraska. Septoria tritici and S. avenae f. sp. triticea cause Septoria leaf blotch. This disease is also known as "Septoria tritici blotch," "Septoria leaf spot," "Septoria blotch," "Speckled leaf blotch" or as the "Septoria complex" since both Septoria species may be present in the same fields and on the same plants.
