Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sorokin) Shoemaker 1959
The fungus is wide-spread and causes spot blotch on wheat and various other diseases on barley, other cereals and other crops. These can result in substantial crop and yield losses. Especially spot blotch on wheat is important in warmer and humid regions. Yield losses of up to 30% have been reported. The symptoms of spot blotch include brown spots, 1-2 cm large, with diffuse margins on the leaves of cereals.
Root rot or seedling blight are also often serious diseases. The fungus is seed-borne or it spreads through the air via conidia. For control resistant cultivars and pathogen-free seeds are used.
