Notes

Phoma prunicola is common as a leaf spot on apple leaves and fruit; it occurs occasionally on leaves of peaches and plums causing a shot hole lesion. Some collections of Phoma prunicola on plum have been confused with leaf lesions of bacterial canker and blast (Xanthomonas pruni and Pseudomonas syringae). It is of minor economic importance. In apples it is controlled by the fungicide spray programme applied to control bitter rot (Glomerella cingulata) and black spot (Venturia inaequalis).
