The occurrence of mass dieback in oak forests is a consequence of the presence of powdery mildew, caused by the pathogenic fungus Microsphaera alphitoides Griff. et Maubl., which particularly affects new, young foliage susceptible to infections. The occurrence and development of oak powdery mildew are closely related to weather conditions during the year. This paper presents the incidence of the disease in relation to outdoor temperature and humidity in Serbia from 2003 to 2009, with a forecast of potential focal centres of infection in the coming period in relation to weather conditions, which is important for the purpose of protection.
