In April 2014, D. album plants with severe leaf blight were observed in commercial production fields located in Wenchang, Hainan Province of China. The disease was characterized by the initial appearance of minute yellow leaf spots with gray brown margins. The spots were oval in shape and expanded to 8 cm in length. The center of the spots became grayish-white.
