Detection

The disease can be detected in the field on the basis of symptoms on the leaf, leaf sheath, awns and glumes. Lesions will lack the dark pycnidia or perithecia produced by some other leaf-spotting fungi (Wiese, 1987). Under severe conditions the heavily infected fields present a distinct burnt appearance that can be seen from a distance (Prabhu and Prasada, 1966).
The agar plate method is recommended for detection in seed (Mathur and Kongsdal, 2003).
