  Scab of Wheat; G94-1207-A
Scab or Fusarium head blight is an important disease of wheat, barley, oats, rye and wheatgrasses.
Scab manifests itself by the premature death or blighting of spikelets in the wheat head.
The presence of scab in grain does not ensure that mycotoxins have been produced; however, scabby grain should be analytically assayed for the presence of vomitoxin and zearalenone.

 The Scab: From The war of the Classes (The World of Jack London)
When the scab crumples up and is ready to go down before the fists, bricks, and bullets of the labor-group, the capitalist-group puts the police and soldiers into the field, and begins a general bombardment of injunctions.
Because the British laborer is disinclined to scab, that is, because he restricts his output in order to give less for the wage he receives, it is to a certain extent made possible for the American capitalist, who receives a less restricted output from his laborers, to play the scab on the English capitalist.
Their hatred for a scab is as terrible as the hatred of a patriot for a traitor, of a Christian for a Judas.

 Apple Scab
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.
The critical period for scab control is from the beginning of bud growth until the apples are 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) in diameter.

 Pecan Scab and Rain - A Note from the Literature
This was indicated by general observation of scab development in the two orchards and also by the nut scab counts which were made on August 9 at Monticello, and on August 10 at Quincy, Florida.
This was an ideal condition for the growth and infection by spores of the scab fungus.
The reason that pecan scab was so bad at Monticello was that of the 25 rains that occurred in June, July and August, 15 fell after 6 PM, so the nuts remained wet for 15 nights or 180 hours.

 Apple tree disease: scab
Scab in apple trees is a plant disease which is caused by venturia inaequalis.
As venturia inaequalis scab infection continues on previously uninfected leaves, twigs and apples the entire tree may quickly become reinfected and show signs of scab damage due to the spread of fungal spores which over wintered and spread each spring.
This is why it is especially important to treat signs of venturia inaequalis scab as soon as they emerge and are evident as apple tree damage and not let the damage continue on to the following year’s growing season.

 scab
Scab can be identified by a pink discoloration on the kernels and shriveled kernels.
However, in heavy scab infestations, a gravity table may not provide significant improvement in grain quality if many moderately infected kernels are present, which are approximately the same size and density as uninfected kernels.
Cleaning infected grain with a fanning mill will reduce scab and vomitoxin levels, but air cleaning will result in a significant loss of non-scabby grain as well because of the air levels needed to get rid of the scabby grain, he says.

 PPA-38: Head Scab of Small Grains in Kentucky
The fungi that cause head scab survive in soil and in crop residues, particularly barley, corn, grain sorghum and wheat, and on various grasses.
Work is hampered by the sporadic nature of head scab under field conditions and the difficulty in artificially simulating head scab epidemics in the field.
Because of the widespread occurrence of head scab fungi in nature, it is unlikely that current control measures will provide much relief when conditions favor a large scale epidemic, however, adherence to the following may help limit the impact of head scab when conditions are less than optimal for development of the disease.

 Ag Answers: Weather Data Gives Researchers A Head's Up On Scab
Ohio State University researchers are trying to stay one step ahead of head scab, a fungal disease in wheat that can cause severe losses in yield and profits.
The first model predicts the probability of head scab seven days prior to crop flowering, by looking at the duration of precipitation and the number of hours temperatures are between 60 degrees and 86 degrees, the optimal time for spore development.
Head scab, also known as fusarium head blight, is likely to occur when warm, wet weather persists during the crop's flowering stage in May and June.

During spring rains, ascospores are discharges from spore-containing organs and wind currents carry the spores to new leaves, where primary infections occur.
Summer rains wash conidiospores from these scab spots and cause secondary infections on both leaves and fruit.
Control of apple scab is achieved primarily through the use of proper fungicides thoroughly applied on a regular spray schedule.

 Whole Farm Apple Scab IPM Project
It was a challenging year for apple scab management in the Northeast; the cool, moist weather was ideal for the growth and spread of the apple scab fungus.
With previous apple scab management with SI fungicides at both of these sites, it is hypothesized that when we assessed foliar scab in the fall of 1995 the fungus was inhibited by the SI.
Control of apple scab to protect the fruit was achieved at both orchards because the infections were detected before the fungus was able to spread too far.

 Potato Scab fact sheet
Potato scab is a common tuber disease that occurs throughout the potato growing regions of the world.
Potato scab lesions are quite variable and distinctions have been made between russet (superficial corky tissue), erumpent (a raised corky area), and pitted (a shallow-to-deep hole) scab as depicted in figures 1, 2, and 3.
Coarse-textured soils are conducive to scab, probably because of their moisture-holding capacity; thus, gravelly or eroded areas of fields that tend to dry out rapidly are often sites of heavy scab infection.

 UC IPM: UC Management Guidelines for Apple Scab on Apple
The main objective in scab management is the reduction or prevention of primary infections in spring.
Because scab control often is part of a combination treatment aimed at other diseases and insect control, choice of materials and timing are also extremely important.
This system for forecasting scab and timing sprays has been validated for apple-growing regions in the northern areas of California, but not for the central and southern San Joaquin Valley where temperatures tend to be higher in spring than those in the table.

 Fusarium Head Blight (Scab) of Small Grains
Fusarium head blight (FHB) or scab is a fungus disease that can occur on all small grain crops but is most commonly seen in North Dakota on spring wheat, durum, and barley.
Additional indications of FHB infection are pink to salmon-orange spore masses of the fungus often seen on the infected spikelet and glumes during prolonged wet weather (Figure 3).
Since scab development depends on favorable environmental conditions from flowering through kernel development, disease occurrence and severity varies from year to year.

 Scab of Potato Tubers, HYG-3105-95   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Scab is a disease of potato tubers that results in lowered tuber quality due to scab-like surface lesions.
Although scab symptoms are usually noticed late in the growing season or at harvest, tubers are susceptible to infection as soon as they are formed.
Scab is caused by a group of filamentous bacteria called actinomycetes that occur commonly in soil.
