Description
Diplocarpon are plant pathogens that cause black spot disease in various plants, especially roses. They form dark, circular lesions on leaves, leading to yellowing and premature leaf drop. These fungi overwinter in fallen leaves and can spread through water splashing or wind. Some species within diplocarpon can also affect fruit trees, causing leaf blotch or fruit rot.
