In order to determinate the causal pathogen of potato leaf spot disease in major potato growing area of Iran, isolate showed different characteristics compared with dominant species (Alternaria alternata). The pathogenicity test of this isolate was carried out and typical symptom on potato seedling leaves was observed. Morphological characteristics were recorded 5-7 days after obtaining single-conidium cultures on potato carrot agar (PCA) in 16:8 dark: light at 22-25°C. Cultures had light olive brown color without pigment diffusion into the agar, and produced aerial mycelium. Colonies exhibited concentric rings due to sporulation and growth according to the photo-period applied.
