Pathogen: the pathogen is Alternaria (AlternariatennuisNees), which belongs to the subphylum Trichospora, Alternaria.

The regularity of the disease: the pathogen overwintered with mycelium in the diseased tissue, produced conidia when the environmental conditions were suitable, and the conidia were infected by wind and rain. During the growing season, conidia can repeatedly infect plants.

Prevention and treatment: ① reduces the source of infection: diseased leaves are cut off in time, together with concentrated destruction of diseased leaves. ② medicament prevention and cure: at the initial stage of the disease, spray 1-100 Bordeaux solution, or 50% bacilli wettable powder, or 65% Dysen zinc wettable powder 600-800 times, once every 10-15 days, 2-3 times.
