Septoria avenae blotch (Parastaganospora avenae) is a stubble-borne fungal disease of oats found throughout Australia but most commonly in Western Australia (WA). Recent paddock surveys have found it to be present in more than 90% of oat crops in WA, and most severely in higher-rainfall areas, during wetter seasons and where oats are more frequently grown.
