Tapesia acuformis is the causal agent for a variety of cereal and forage grass diseases. ^{[1] [2]} The anamorph of T. acuformis was formerly known as the R-type strain of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides . The W-type strain of P. herpotrichoides is now known as T. yallundae .

Management

Agropyron elongatum 's genetic resistance to this disease is useful to introgress into wheat. ^[3]
