Disease-resistant apple cultivars
Abstract
"Disease infection is a major limitation to growing apples in Missouri. Several cultivars with apple scab immunity or resistance are currently available for planting. Although these cultivars can reduce pesticide usage, apples are susceptible to other diseases and insect pests. All cultivars listed below are immune or resistant to apple scab. When temperatures are near 100 degrees F in August during the daytime and are very warm at night, the flesh of early-ripening cultivars often softens and results in poor fruit quality. Thus, apple cultivars that would be harvested at this time are not recommended for planting in Missouri. Also, some cultivars listed below have not yet been evaluated in Missouri and may have unidentified limitations to fruit production."--Page 1.
