Abstract
The newly occurred apricot fruit disease-black spot was studied. The pathogen was identified as Alternaria sp. based on its culture, morphology , pathogenicity and biological characteristics. The suitable temperature and pH for the pathogen growth were 25~30℃ and pH 4~8 respectively, but 28℃ and pH 5 were the most favourable. For conidium germination, the suitable temperature was 25~35℃ and 30℃ was the most favourable. The pathogen grew well when carbon source was lactose or amylum and nitrogen source was yeast grease or peptone. Illumination favoured the mycelial growth and conidia germination.
