ABSTRACT
The septoria glume blotch-one of the most common diseases of wheat and its agents pose a serious threat to agriculture destroy a biological yield on 30-40% (Eyal 1999). The fungus Septoria (syn. Stagonospora) nodorum (Berk.) E. Castell. & Germano [teleomorf: Phaeosphaeria (syn. Leptosphaeria) nodorum (E. Müll.) Hedjar.] is actively developing on wheat and its visual symptoms in seeds are absent, but in plants the disease appears in the form of necrosis, desiccation and pycnidia are formed in the infected parts of the plants (Eyal 1999, Solomon et al. 2006). This pathogen should not be confused with Septoria leaf blotch, caused by Septoria tritici Rob et
Desm., which teleomorph is Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckel) J. Schröt. (Palmer and Skiner 2002).
