Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by Zymoseptoria tritici, is one of the most important foliar wheat diseases worldwide. Current control strategies STB rely mainly on fungicides, whereby triazoles (demethylation inhibitors; DMIs) have been backbone in Z. last decades. However, recent years a gradual loss sensitivity to several active ingredients triazole group has reported European wheat-gr...

Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria Desm., is most important disease affecting wheat in Northern Europe. There a strong correlation between STB and weather variables; therefore, research on climate change epidemiology essential. In long-term survey across 25 years, we evaluated epidemiological development of at representative location under maritime climatic conditi...

Wheat disease management in Europe is mainly based on the use of fungicides and cultivation resistant cultivars. Improving implies formal comparison methods terms both crop health yield levels (attainable yield, actual yield), thus enabling an assessment losses gains. Such not available for wheat Europe. The objective analysis reported here to provide overview performance field experiments Data...

The study assessed the health quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seed samples collected from formal and informal sector in Ethiopia and Syria. In Ethiopia, several seed-borne fungi were found on wheat samples: Cochliobolus sativum, Fusarium avenaceum, F. graminearum, F. nivale, F. poae and Septoria nodorum. C. sativum was predominant with 84% of samples...
