 IPM : Reports on Plant Diseases : Scald of Cereals and Forage Grasses
Scald is an important fungus disease of barley, rye, smooth bromegrass, and orchardgrass worldwide in cool, humid, largely temperate climates.
Scald is easily identified from the oval to lens-shaped or elongated spots (lesions) which develop mostly on the leaves and leaf sheaths.
During prolonged periods of cool, moist weather in the spring, the scald fungi resume growth on fall-infected tissues and produce large numbers of colorless, two-celled, microscopic spores called conidia (Figure 3), which develop in a thin layer of slime on the surface of the lesions from a stroma of spore-producing mycelia.

 Small Grain Barley Disease - Barley Scald
Barley leaf scald is a common and conspicuous disease of barley but usually is not serious enough to warrant control.
Scald is caused by Rhynchosporium secalis, a fungus that develops a superficial, loose stroma on which conidia are produced from short cells.
Scald develops on leaves as oval to irregular blotches that have a bluish green, water-soaked appearance (Photo 19).

 Storage Scald   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Incidence and severity of storage scald is favored by hot, dry weather before harvest, immature fruit at harvest, high nitrogen and low calcium concentrations in the fruit, and inadequate ventilation in storage rooms or in packages.
Scald is usually not evident until after 3 months of storage.
The reasons for variability in susceptibility to storage scald among apple varieties is not known; however, the concentration of naturally occurring antioxidants in the apple skin has been investigated.

 ARS | Publication request: Oxidative Stress and Apple Scald
Scald is thought to be induced by oxidation products of a volatile compound, alpha-farnesene, which is produced in the peel tissue of apples during storage.
To control scald, apples are routinely drenched after harvest with a solution including an antioxidant chemical plus a fungicide.
Technical Abstract: Superficial scald is a costly storage disorder that often develops in fruit of susceptible apple cultivars such as 'Granny Smith' and 'Law Rome' after several months at low temperature.

 Resistance in Barley to Scald, 1997-2001, Alberta
The major scald resistance genes were determined in the accessions that were used for pathotype differentiation in numerous studies.
Commercial cultivars were classified in scald reactions into five groups, those in the intermediate group for the 1997 to 1999 test period were classified into the susceptible group for the 2000 to 2001 period, suggesting a continuous erosion of scald resistance as a result of development of virulent pathotypes at the test sites.
Scald reactions for commercial cultivars were location dependent suggesting an uneven distribution of scald pathotypes in Alberta.

 Scald Fact Sheet
Scald burn injury (caused by hot liquids or steam) is the most common type of burn-related injury among young children while flame burns (caused by direct contact with fire) are more prevalent among older children.
The majority of scald burns to children, especially among those ages 6 months to 2 years, are from hot foods and liquids spilled in the kitchen or other places where food is prepared and served.
Hot tap water scalds can be prevented by lowering the setting on water heater thermostats to 120 degrees F or below, and by installing anti-scald devices in water faucets and shower heads.

 The Barley Country - Fall 2000 - Environmentally-friendly management of scald disease in barley
Scald disease, caused by Rhynchosporium secalis, is a major disease of barley resulting in considerable crop quality and yield losses.
The scald fungus was found to produce organic acids resulting in sequestration of calcium in the barley plant and facilitating infection.
Evidence was gathered to show that the barley plant recognizes the scald fungus and moves calcium from other parts to concentrate it at the points of penetration and infection by the scald fungus.

 How to scald & scorch milk
Many older recipes called for you to scald milk, that is, to bring it nearly to a boil (185°F, 85°C, or more), preferably in a thick-bottomed pan, and stirring actively, to keep a protein skin from forming on the surface and keep the proteins and sugar from sticking to the bottom.
Scalding served two purposes, to kill potentially harmful bacteria in the milk, and to destroy enzymes that keep the milk from thickening in recipes.
But for her “peace of mind,” Corriher says she continues to scald milk and reconstituted dry milk for her baking projects.

 Predicting scald development in storage
Superficial scald, also known as storage scald or common scald, is one of a number of environmentally-induced physiological skin disorders in apples.
Even though research continued into the cause and control of scald, it was evident the most economical solution to scald was the topical application of DPA on apples and of ethoxyquin on pears.
Scald has been a problem worldwide wherever apples are stored for more than a few months, and even though there has been protection in the form of DPA and ethoxyquin drenches, the problem still exists and has not been solved.

 Storage Scald Control
Consequently, scald may develop in April, May or June on some lots of CA McIntosh which were entirely free from it earlier.
Scald on regular cold storage McIntosh is generally not a problem until after January, at which time the bulk of this fruit should have been marketed.
If DPA is used for scald control, a reduced rate is likely to be sufficient for fruit of these cultivars exposed to 165 or more "chilling hours" in the weeks before harvest.

 Market Diseases of Apples, Pears, and Quinces: Scald
Scald is a physiological disease of apples that has been recognized as a serious problem for as long as apples have been stored and marketed commercially.
Scald is also known by such names as ordinary scald, storage scald, common scald, hard scald (as opposed to the soft scald disease), and superficial scald, although tissues may be killed to 1/4 inch in some varieties.
From this information it seems most desirable and accurate to designate the scald-like condition on Golden Delicious apples as senescent scald and to designate the true scald type on other varieties as ordinary scald.

 Rabbit Urine Scald
The baldness and red, irritated skin are caused by "urine scald," and it can happen to any bunny whose urine soaks into the fur around her vent and is in constant contact with her delicate skin.
All rabbits normally excrete excess calcium and oxalate salts via the urinary tract, and the residue of normal urine will often appear "chalky." However, when excessive amounts of calcium/oxalate salts precipitate in the urinary tract, they sometimes manifest as a thick, curry-colored "sludge" that sometimes has a consistency as thick as toothpaste.
While your veterinarian is performing diagnostic tests to determine the reason for your rabbit's urine scald, your job will be to keep her comfortable, clean and dry.
