Apple is one of the most important fruit species, very in human nutrition, both fresh and as a raw material food industry. scab economically significant apple disease worldwide it biggest problem production. Knowledge life cycle key importance for forecasting control. Forecasting based on Mills table still an irreplaceable approach occurrence. Control this pathogen relies mostly use synthetic fungicides, however, major emerging resistance V. inaequalis to fungicides. In recent decades, breeding programs have detected genes created many resistant tolerant varieties, which significantly facilitates production protection. It necessary find new ways control scab, especially biological agents antagonists order simplify protection, reduce costs preserve environment, i.e. make sustainable.
