Pennycook (1989) lists this species from a range of grasses, but Chen et al. (2015) note that it is restricted to Sarghum and that specimens from grasses must be different species. Chen et al. cite ICMP 14103 (ex Lolium ex Canterbury) as Neoascochyta graminicola

Pathogenicity

Latch (1965, 1966a) recorded Ascochyta sorghi on these six introduced grasses; he stated that it occurs mostly during the winter period. It is of little economic importance.
