Using stunning computer animation blended with real-life in-field footage, this educational video impressively illustrates the life cycle of the apple scab fungus Venturia inaequalis. Students and extension audiences will gain a clear understanding of the development and epidemiological spread of this disease and how it can be controlled using integrated pest management (IPM) practices. Apple Scab Venturia inaequalis is an authoritative presentation of a disease that is found in most of the world's apple-growing regions.This video is dedicated to Professor Dr. Dr. h.c.

The bulletin concludes with a joint consideration, for both pests, of spraying outfits and methods, with directions for the combination of the spray mixtures, and a spray calendar"--Introduction.
Excerpt from Apple Scab At this time it was not known to the writer that the latter had been suspected by others as the permanent stage of the apple scab fungus.

From the results of...
