Fungal disease

Early blight / Alternaria

How to recognise it

Brown spots with concentric rings, starting on older leaves.

What helps

Remove lower leaves, mulch against splashing, rotate crops.

Often a care issue is behind it (watering, light, placement) – the care check in the app helps narrow it down.
