DuGGAR, B. M. Some Important Pear Diseases. SGB can devastate yields by causing kernels to shrink and shrivel, thereby reducing test weight. Stagonospora glume blotch (SGB), also called Stagonosopora nodorum blotch or glume blotch, is a common disease in Indiana wheat fields (Figure 1). Cause. 1^7-16^. S. nodorum infections can occur very early in the season, but are most evident just prior to and after heading. Stagonspora nodorum blotch, for example.

Starting in the lower leaves, infections move to the upper leaves and heads, causing Glume Blotch. Leaf Spot. T hree important fungal leaf spot diseases, tan spot, Septoria/Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) and Septoria tritici blotch (STB), commonly occur (often as a complex) in North Dakota and have the potential to reduce test weight and yield by 50 percent. Septoria tritici blotch (also known as speckled leaf spot), Stagonospora nodorum blotch and tan spot (also known as yellow leaf spot) are the three most frequently occurring leaf blotch diseases of wheat in Ohio. Leaf Blotch of Rose 358 FUNGOUS DISEASES OF PLANTS XLIX. When both pathogens occur together, they are referred to collectively as the Septoria blotch complex or Septoria … 175. Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) is a complex fungal disease of wheat caused by the Dothideomycete fungal pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum. It is common for plants to be infected by more than one of these foliar Septoria tritici blotch, also known as speckled leaf blotch, is caused by the fungus Septoria tritici. The pathogen. Fig. Septoria leaf spot (Septoria nodorum) lesion on wheat leaf. Septoria and Stagonospora fungi overwinter in wheat stubble of previously diseased crops or on infested seed. STB is found commonly in the same fields and on the same plants as Phaeosphaeria nodorum (asexual stage: Stagonospora nodorum), the causal agent of Stagonospora nodorum blotch of wheat. It is also known as Septoria nodorum and the disease is variously called glume blotch and Septoria (or Stagonospora) nodorum blotch (not to be confused with Septoria leaf blotch which is caused by Mycosphaerella graminicola).
