Apple scab is a fungal disease most common in areas of relatively high rainfall and relative humidity.
However, scab outbreaks such as those that occurred in the early 1980's indicate that persons associated with the central Washington apple industry must constantly be alert to conditions that are conducive to the development of this disease, even in arid climates such as central Washington.
Once the initial ascospore caused infections (called primary scab) are established, the fungus continues to grow in the infected tissue and eventually produces a second type of infectious spore (known as a conidium) in the scab lesions.
