Black spot leaf disease is a physiological plant disorder that affects some grape varieties such as Concord.It is essentially a potassium deficiency that causes the leaves on a vine to turn purple and eventually black as chlorophyll is lost.
Once on the leaves, the spores germinate and penetrate through the stoma. [2] The subsequent infection causes chlorosis of the leaves in localized yellow spots. As the season continues into summer, apothecia begin to form, giving rise to brown-black leaf lesions that resemble spots of tar. [2] Leaves retain their yellow border from the initial ...
A characteristic symptom of the pathogen is the name itself: black spots. Brown, black or dark grey lesions, surrounded by a yellow halo can be observed on lower leaves during the beginning stages of infection and can vary in size from 1 to 20mm. [1] Lesions can combine to cause leaf death and premature defoliation. [2]
Infection causes a black or grey sunken lesion with a characteristic yellow border. [1] [2] On the leaves of some plants, infection can cause dark, water-soaked spots. [3] The lesions can be observed anywhere on the plant. [1] In seedlings, fungal lesions on the stem are a cause of damping-off. [4] Infected seeds appear black or grey. [1]
The black spots can become about 5 millimeters in diameter. [1] As the season continues, the tissue around the original spot may become necrotic. [4] In severe cases of the disease there is premature shedding of leaves, blight of young leaves and shoots, and complete defoliation early in the fall. [1] Fruits that are infected become crumpled.

5. Low Humidity. Light brown spots scattered across fiddle leaf fig leaves can be caused by dry air. If the brown spots in question have a pox-like look instead of being in a single area of the ...
The most common cause of bacterial leaf spots are by bacteria in the genera Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas. For example, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci is known to cause angular leaf spots of cucumber, Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola to cause bean leaf spot and Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli, angular leaf spot of cotton.

Alternaria alternata is a fungus causing leaf spots, rots, and blights on many plant parts, and other diseases. It is an opportunistic [citation needed] pathogen on over 380 host species of plant. It can also cause upper respiratory tract infections [1] and asthma in humans with compromised immunity. [2]
