The fungal pathogens develop threads and spores on the leaves and bark that can stay for long and inhibit the growth of leaves and flowers. The trees should be treated with tree trimming and pruning or triadimefon.
- Apple scab: the scab-like spots on the fruits and leaves cause the tree to lose fruits and foliage. Defoliation results in food shortage and stunted growth. The tree has to be treated with a fungicide that has fenarimol as its major element.
- Dutch elm disease: the dutch elm disease is spread by bark beetles and affects thousands of elm trees across the U.S. It is also caused due to shoddy grafting.
