Septoria secalis also known as Septoria Leaf Blotch is a fungal plant pathogen infecting rye.

Morphology & Biology[edit]

Septoria secalis[1] is a common disease that mainly attacks rye leaves. Small spots appear between leaf veins, elongate, then turn yellow-brown and become pale. The disease appears most often on seedling leaves during the autumn, but also affects adult plants.

Economic Impact[edit]

Severe attacks of Septoria secalis can result in crop yield losses between 10% and 40%.[2] Common control measures include crop rotation, the ploughing of plant debris, and fungicidal treatment of affected plants. Yan & Hunt 2001 finds that in most years SLB is the primary yield loss factor in Ontario, Canada.[3] It is also a pathogen of concern in Europe.[4]
