Final diagnosis


Alternaria spp.

Most of the leaves of this eggplant are more or less covered with more or less extensive brown to black spots.<i><b>Alternaria beringelae</b></i> (ex <i>Alternaria solani</i>, early blight)
On this leaf, the brown spots present slightly marked concentric rings, a fairly diffuse chlorotic halo; damaged tissue eventually breaks and splits. <i><b>Alternaria beringelae</b></i> (ex <i>Alternaria solani</i>, alternariose, early blight)
On this leaf, the brown spots present slightly marked concentric rings, a fairly diffuse chlorotic halo; damaged tissue eventually breaks and splits. <i> <b> Alternaria beringelae </b> </i> (ex <i> Alternaria solani </i>, alternaria, early blight)
The numerous brown spots present, with a diffuse outline, lead to yellowing of the lamina, even its necrosis and are drying out. <i><b>Alternaria beringelae</b></i> (ex <i>Alternaria solani</i>, alternariose, early blight)
A small, brown, concave spot with discreet concentric rings has formed on one side of this fruit. <i><b>Alternaria beringelae</b></i> (ex <i>Alternaria solani</i>, alternariose, early blight) on eggplant fruit
A concave lesion has settled on this mature fruit. The tissues gradually collapse and split, while the pericarp locally takes on a black tint. <i><b>Alternaria alternata</b></i> (syn. <i>Alternaria tenuis</i>, alternariose)
Ultimately, the mycelium and numerous <i> <b> Alternaria alternata </b> </i> (syn. <i> Alternaria tenuis </i>) fruiting bodies colonize the damaged surface of the fruit.<b>Alternariose</b>
This rotting fruit is almost completely collapsed and locally covered with black mold. <i><b>Alternaria alternata</b></i> (syn <i>Alternaria tenuis</i>, alternariose)
The rot is now firmly in place; the tissues shrivel over a large area and fruiting bodies appear here and there. <i><b>Alternaria alternata</b></i> (syn <i>Alternaria tenuis</i>, alternariose)
