This research identifies Alternaria alternata causing leaf spot disease in Eucommia ulmoides, indicating significant agricultural implications.

Alternaria alternata causes leaf spot disease in Eucommia ulmoides, presenting symptoms like necrotic spots and chlorosis on the leaves.
A pathogenicity test showed significant symptoms developing within a week, reinforcing the association with the disease observed in the field.
Molecular identification confirmed the pathogen's identity, with ITS sequences showing 100% similarity to known Alternaria species.
This finding highlights the need for control measures in plants affected by Alternaria alternata to prevent crop losses and enhance management strategies.

Zhao et al. (2025) studied this question.
