Popis: Brown leaf spot of potato is caused by a number of small-spored Alternaria spp. Alternaria alternata sensu stricto, A. arborescens, and A. tenuissima have been reported with increasing frequency in commercial potato fields. Potato cultivars with resistance to small-spored Alternaria spp. have yet to be developed; therefore, the application of foliar fungicides is a primary management strategy. Greenhouse inoculation assays demonstrated that isolates of these three small-spored Alternaria spp. were pathogenic. Significant differences in aggressiveness were observed across isolates; however, there was no trend in aggressiveness based on species. Significant fungicide by isolate interactions in in vitro fungicide sensitivity and significant differences between baseline and nonbaseline isolates were observed in all three small-spored Alternaria spp. The ranges of in vitro sensitivity of A. alternata baseline isolates to boscalid (EC50
