Geographic distribution. Flag smut of wheat has been reported from all continents (Purdy, 1965), and, being seed-borne, it has probably been introduced frequently into many regions. U. agropyri was important in parts of Australia, China, South Africa, northern Egypt, the Punjab of India and Pakistan, and in local parts of the U.S. Local farming practices and differences in the inherent resistance of wheats in a region influence the prevalence of flag smut, but climate is the main factor. 2, record 1, English, - flag%20smut%20of%20wheat

Fischer and Holton(1943) concluded that U. tritici arose from U. agropyri, and that U. agropyri, by priority, is the valid name of the wheat flag smut fungus. 2, record 1, English, - flag%20smut%20of%20wheat
