The efficacy of Giftii biopesticide as a substitute fungicide for managing Septoria tritici blotch and enhancing wheat yield was evaluated through comprehensive field trials conducted at multiple locations. The study employed Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to assess differences among treatments in terms of yield and Area under Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC). The results indicated significant differences (P < 0.05) among the treatments. The trials revealed notable variations in AUDPC across different application rates of Giftii biopesticide. Control plots, which received no treatment, exhibited the highest disease severity with an AUDPC of 1499.17% in days. In contrast, plots treated with Giftii at a rate of 0.75 liters per hectare showed the lowest disease severity, with an AUDPC of 1361.83% in days. These findings demonstrate a substantial reduction in disease spread when Giftii biopesticide was applied, compared to the untreated control plots. In terms of yield, the data showed significant differences among the treatments. The highest mean yield was recorded for the 0.75 liters per hectare application rate of Giftii, producing 4.3 tons per hectare. This was a marked improvement compared to the control treatment, which yielded only 2.7 tons per hectare. Statistical analysis further confirmed a significant difference between the control plots and those treated with 0.5 liters per hectare of Giftii biopesticide. These findings underscore the potential of Giftii biopesticide as an effective fungicide for managing Septoria tritici blotch and improving wheat yields. The significant reduction in disease severity and the corresponding increase in yield with Giftii application suggest it could be a viable alternative to conventional fungicides. The study highlights Giftii's efficacy and supports its consideration for broader use in wheat production to enhance crop health and productivity.
