Pseudocercospora fuligena is a fungal plant pathogen infecting tomatoes. [2] It is the cause of the fungal disease black leaf mold. [3] The fungus was first described in the Philippines in 1938 and has since been reported in numerous countries throughout the tropics and subtropics.
Pycnidia can be found in the center of the said lesions. Pycnidia are fruiting bodies of the fungus. When the lesions become numerous often the leaves turn yellow, then brown, shriveling up and eventually dropping off the plant altogether.

Plants can drop 50–100% of their foliage. BLS can also affect the stems of plants, leading to elongated, raised, light-brown cankers, less than .25 inch long. (5) Defoliation occurs more commonly in pepper plants than tomatoes, so tomato plants with bacterial leaf spot often have a scorched appearance due to their diseased leaves. [2] [5]
Leaf spots can vary in size, shape, and color depending on the age and type of the cause or pathogen. Plants, shrubs and trees are weakened by the spots on the leaves as they reduce available foliar space for photosynthesis. Other forms of leaf spot diseases include leaf rust, downy mildew and blights. [4]
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.
Tomato leaf mold is a plant disease originated from the South and Central America. [1] In 1883, Cooke first discovered the tomato leaf mold in North Carolina. [2] This disease is not common on the fruit, but if the control is not run, the foliage can be greatly damaged and result in significant yield losses.
