=>The spot have a radiating appearance with a feathery edge ,

=>On older leaves the lesion are more definite in outline ,

=>The lesion may form a convex surface with corresponding concave area on the
opposite side ,
=>In severe infection leaf blade curved dwarfed and distoried ,
=>Fruit show small rough black circular lesions the centre of the spots become corky
and on mature fruit yellow halo is seen around ,
Pathogen
=>The mycelium is internal ascospores are two called greenish
grey or yellowish in color ,

Causal organism
Ventura inaequalis
Disease of cycle
1,perennation
=> The pathogen perennates by means of perithecia
happens
what
 actually is that the infected leaves of the apple tree fall off on to the
ground ,
=>The mycelium present in these leaves penetrates deeper tissues
=>The course of sexual production and produces perithecia ,
=>If true sexual course fails to complete by any means ,
2, primary infection
=>when favourable conditions for the pathogen return the perithecia mature
by that time contain asci ,
=>The asci elongate push through the ostiole of the perithecium
and get forcibly discharged into the air this is the time when the
flower bud open ,
=>The ascospores germinate and cause primary infection ,
=>Once the mycelium after primary infection has taken place is
established inside the host it develops and produces enormous number of
Conidia ,
3, secondary infection
=>Conidia produced during primary infection serve as the source of
secondary infection they are easily detached by air or sometimes ,
=>By water to other leaves or fruits germinate and cause
Secondary infection during the same growing season ,
=>when the pathogen moves towards the end of life cycle it enters
into sexual phase producing finally perithecia act resting structure
the source of primary infection during the next growing season ,
