Parastagonospora nodorum causes septoria nodorum blotch in wheat and is often associated with yellow spot disease, which is caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis.Both these fungal pathogens are ‘necrotrophic’, meaning they feed on dead plant tissue. 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. 1^7-16^.
