Significant differences were observed in necrotic leaf area and pycnidia coverage among isolates of zymoseptoria tritici.
Isolate ZSE158 proved most aggressive, causing 61.4% pycnidia coverage and 54% necrotic leaf area on tested wheat lines.
Testing involved eight wheat lines against six zymoseptoria tritici isolates, showcasing high virulence variability.
Findings highlight TE9111 as a valuable source for resistance breeding against septoria tritici blotch in Ethiopia.
