Discusses the development of scab strains able to overcome scab resistance
supplied by the Vf gene from Malus floribunda.
See

There are interesting hints also about the importance of cultural methods
and the use of urea sprays to encourage the decomposition of leaves
carrying scab. I wonder if compost tea would also be effective.
