black head mold, sooty mold

My comment:

I would say black head mold, which is also more commonly known as sooty mold in the US, which according to the site I gave you is a fairly minor secondary disease caused by a complex of fungi, incl. some you mentioned, caused by these fungi growing on the honeydew excreted by aphids, or under moist conditions, or when the plant is already stressed by some other disease.

Cladosporium herbarum

My comment:

The reference given by Robert seems to be rather ambiguous - Aehrenschwaerze is given both for Alternaria ssp. (NOT Alternaria solani, which attacks tomatoes and potatoes) and for Cladosporium herbarum (further down).
