The <i>Septoria</i> blotch is one of the most economically harmful diseases of common wheat in Russia and the world. The disease is mainly caused by two pathogen species: <i>Zymoseptoria tritici</i> that damages the leaves, and <i>Parastagonospora nodorum</i> that strikes the leaves and ears. Resistance genes of the alien relatives are traditionally used for genetic defense of cultivars. The aims of the research were to study the resistance of the tall wheatgrass <i>Thinopyrum ponticum</i> (Podp.) Z.-W. Liu and R.-C. Wang and perspective introgressive lines of spring common wheat with its genetic material to <i>Septoria</i> blotch, and to characterize their agronomical properties to be used in breeding programs in Western Siberia. The studies were carried out in 2015–2019 in the field conditions of the southern forest-steppe (Omsk, Russia) on a natural infection background and according to standard methods. The <i>Septoria</i> diseases developed on the wheat in the period of milk-wax ripeness, independently of humid or dry weather conditions. In 2016, a sharp increase in leaf lesion was noted, probably associated with changes in the <i>Z. tritici</i> population. In 2017, the ratio of <i>Z. tritici</i> and <i>P. nodorum</i> was similar, and in 2019 <i>Z. tritici</i> prevailed. During the research, the lines that combined leaf and ear resistance to damage with high yield and grain quality were selected.
