Apple scab is the most important disease of apples (Malus domestica) in the cool temperate regions where apples are grown. Data were collected over several years from plantings of new apple cultivars and selections established at multiple locations in 1995 (23 entries) and 1999 (24 entries) as part of regional project NE-183. Golden Delicious and McIntosh were the standards in both plantings. Data on incidence of scab on leaves and fruit were collected and analyzed to determine differences due to location and cultivar. None of the analyses indicated significant cultivar differences due to location, likely confirming the diversity of the apple scab fungus in the eastern United States. In general, for scab on leaves, the cultivars Ginger Gold, Orin, Cripps Pink, Silken, and Delblush were as susceptible as McIntosh, a common standard for scab susceptibility in the eastern United States. For scab on fruit, the cultivars Fuji, Cameo, Cripps Pink, Ambrosia, and Silken, and the selection NJ 90, were as susceptible as McIntosh. As expected, the cultivars and selections with genetic resistance to the scab pathogen exhibited the lowest incidences of apple scab on foliage and fruit. Gala Supreme, Sansa, and Honeycrisp, while susceptible to scab, exhibited relatively low levels of the disease.
