Summary:

This collection reviews advances in understanding key diseases and insect pests of tree fruit. Chapters summarise current research on what causes key fungal diseases (apple scab, powdery mildew, apple replant diseases, apple canker and brown rot), bacterial and viral diseases (fire blight, brown spot, apple mosaic virus and plum pox).
