Leaf spots — Italian ryegrass

Lolium multiflorum Lam. ssp. italicum (A. Br.) Volkart

A group of fungal diseases in Italian ryegrass manifesting as spots of various shapes and colors. They are caused by pathogens such as Magnaporthe oryzae, Drechslera species, Alternaria alternata, and Pestalotiopsis trachycarpicola, which primarily affect species of the genus Lolium.

In the reference 20 varieties crop Italian ryegrass, where this is mentioned in the description.

Pyricularia leaf spot (gray leaf spot) is characterized by small, watery spots, leaf tip curling, and a gray coating. Helminthosporium leaf spots manifest as longitudinal or transverse stripes with a net-like pattern, while alternaria leaf spot appears as necrotic reddish-brown spots with a lightened center. Black leaf spot is accompanied by the formation of black necrotic lesions on the leaf blade.

Pathogens such as Pyricularia oryzae exhibit high specificity to the genus Lolium, although a clear classification into internationally recognized races does not exist. Breeding for resistance is based on phenotyping and germplasm screening, and the final indicator is often characterized as tolerance without the identification of specific genetic loci.
