In organic apple growing main strategy of apple scab control depends on the use of fungicides based on copper or sulphur. For additional treatments organic growers apply lime sulphur during the period the fungus needs to germinate on the leave surface. Early warning systems based on disease forecasting models that give timely information about apple scab infection periods have the potential to limit the use of fungicides. One of the warning systems which are successfully used in organic production is 'RIMpro' scab simulation program. Beside preventive measures of protection, in order to successfully control of apple scab also very important is reduction of the baseline potential and the cultivation of scab-resistance apple cultivar. However, scab-resistant cultivars do not possess the quality of the leading cultivars in conventional and integrated production. All together makes apple scab control very complicated.
