Abstract
Blighting of lower sheaths was found on barley, bread wheat and durum wheat grown in western Japan in April 2014, May 2016, and April 2019, respectively. A fungus, isolated repeatedly from the diseased plants and identified as Ceratobasidium cereale, was demonstrated to be pathogenic to the three crops. The diseases, new in Japan, were diagnosed as sharp eyespot that had been noted abroad.
