Apple Scab
Apple Scab is a common fungal disease that affects apple trees. It is caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis, which thrives in cool, wet conditions. The disease primarily targets the leaves and fruit, leading to dark, olive-green spots on the foliage and fruit, which can eventually cause them to drop prematurely.
To manage Apple Scab, it is important to practice good sanitation by removing fallen leaves and debris around the trees. Additionally, applying fungicides during the early spring can help prevent the spread of the disease. Regular monitoring and proper care can keep apple trees healthy and productive.
