| | Apple scab |
 | | During the prebloom period, for both fresh and processing apples, determine apple scab infection periods by observing duration of leaf wetness and average temperatures during the wet period (Table 2, chapter 2). |
 | | Management: Management of apple scab is multifaceted, with resistant cultivars, sanitation, and chemical all being used to some degree depending on the orchard system being used and the goals of the grower. |
 | | Some recently released apple cultivars that have not been bred specifically for resistance to scab show varying levels of scab susceptibility, also (Table of foliar disease susceptibility of new apple cultivars in West Virginia). |
