Abstract
Endive (Cichorium endivia L.) is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant which belongs to the Asteraceae family, widely distributed, and grown worldwide. During the March of 2022, a disease with leaf spot symptoms was observed on Cichorium endivia L in 35% of the planted area in a farm field in Ding xi city, Gansu Province, China. Disease symptoms were observed in leaves of endives with pinpoint-sized green spots. The entire plant turns yellow and wilts, and becomes dry starting in the center until it splits or cracks. The K1 strain isolated from infected plants was identified as Epicoccum nigrum based on morphological characteristics, culture features, and molecular identification. To our knowledge, this is the first report of E. nigrum causing leaf spots on endive (Cichorium endivia L.) in China.
