Pathogenicity

Cercospora atro-marginalis is common as a leaf spot on black night shade (Solanum nigrum) throughout New Zealand; it has been recorded in Auckland on leaves anc fruit of the indigenous S. laciniatum and in Westland on an introduced species of Solanum. Brien and Dingley (1951) recorded this leaf spot as Cercospora solani Sacc and Berl. It is of no economic importance.
