Plants that have been damaged are particularly susceptible to being infected by tomato early blight alternaria. When a plant is infected with Alternaria Alternata, it will normally appear first on the lower leaves of the plant in the form of plant leaf spots that are either brown or black. These tomato leaf spots will eventually migrate to the stem and even the fruit of the tomato.
Often only one side of a plant is affected at first, but symptoms eventually spread. Tomato Leaf SpotâSeptoria lycopersici Fruit is not affected, although sunscald can be a problem due to foliage loss. Numerous brown spots on leaves, each about 1/16 inch in diameter. They do not have a yellow halo and they do have black specks in the center. First symptoms are usually on lower leaves after the first fruit sets.
