Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the ascomycete pathogenZymoseptoria tritici, is the most economically destructive disease of winter wheat throughout northern Europe (O'Driscoll et al., 2014).Following infection and a prolonged latent period, leaf necrosis is induced, with ensuing lesions that develop on the upper canopy during grain fill, leading to significant yield losses (Jørgensen et al., 2021). To prevent these losses, disease control programmes incorporating agronomic practices (e.g., delayed sowing), host resistance,
