Leaf spot diseases are a group of plant ailments caused by various pathogens, including fungi, bacteria, and viruses. These diseases typically manifest as small, discolored spots on the leaves, which can vary in color from brown to yellow or black. Over time, the spots may enlarge and lead to leaf drop, affecting the overall health of the plant. Management of leaf spot diseases often involves cultural practices such as proper spacing for air circulation, regular watering, and removing infected leaves. In some cases, fungicides or bactericides may be used to control the spread of the disease, helping to protect plants like tomatoes and roses.
