Abstract
THE control of apple scab or black spot, caused by Venturia inaequalis, using protective and eradicant protective spray programmes during the parasitic phase of fungal activity has reached a stage beyond which further substantial improvement is unlikely. With modern machinery and modern chemicals, good control of the disease can be achieved in normal seasons in New South Wales, but the cost of the control programme is very high and heavy losses still occur under extreme infection conditions.
