Septoria tritici blotch, caused by Zymoseptoria tritici, is a major disease of wheat in many areas of the world. Optimal conditions for development of Zymoseptoria tritici take place during April and May. High risk of Septoria tritici blotch disease periods are defined as days with at least 10 mm rain, or else up to three consecutive days with 10 mm or more rain. The research was conducted during 2015-2019 (four agricultural years). The climatic conditions specific for these interval of time made it to be present in wheat fields Zymoseptoria tritici which causes Septoria tritici blotch disease of wheat. The aim of this paper is to describe the behaviour of eleven Romanian winter wheat varieties (Glosa, Izvor, Miranda FDL, Otilia, Pajura, Pitar, Semnal, Ursita, Andrada, Codru and Bezostaia 1) under natural infection conditions with Zymoseptoria tritici.
