Abstract
In September 2023, a leaf spot disease occurred on chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) in Imsil-gun Agricultural Technology Center, Korea. A fungal species was isolated from the diseased plant and identified as an ascomycete <i>Epicoccum sorghinum</i> based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses using the sequences of the ITS, <i>TUB2</i>, and <i>ACT</i> genes. A pathogenicity test revealed that the isolate was the causal agent of leaf spot disease on chrysanthemum. This is the first report of leaf spot disease caused by <i>E. sorghinum</i> on chrysanthemum in Korea.
