Abstract
There were numerous apple scab detections in Western Australia (WA) between
1989 and 1996. A comprehensive eradication and surveillance program was
initiated after each detection. Apple scab was not detected in four years of
surveillance following the last detection in 1996. Based on this, WA can again
declare itself free of this serious fungal disease.
