Apple scab, caused by the marsupial fungus Venturia inaequalis, is one of the most common diseases in orchards of the Astrakhan region. Scab is one of the most dangerous pests of apple trees, reducing the quality of fruits and causing crop losses. The development of scab requires additional factors such as warm weather, humidity and high nutritional availability. The same varieties in different areas of cultivation have different susceptibility to scab. The use of a complex compound that combines selection and seed production, mechanical, agrotechnical, chemical and biological methods will protect the garden from infection and spread of scab.
