Book Description
Excerpt from Citrus Scab: Its Cause and Control Citrus scab, or verrucosis (also commonly known as lemon scab, sour-orange scab, sour scab, and grapefruit scab), is a parasitic fungous disease of the twigs, leaves, and fruits of many species of citrus. Citrus scab occurs in India, South China, Formosa, Japan, Hawaii, Paraguay, Brazil, Canal Zone, Yucatan, Texas, Louisiana, Missis sippi, Alabama, Florida, Cuba, Isle of Pines, Porto Rico, and the lesser islands of the West Indies. It is also reported as being in the Canary Islands and the Union of South Africa. In general importance to the citrus industry, citrus scab is second only to the diseases known as melanose and stem-end rot, caused by Phomopsis ottri Fawcett. It was largely responsible for the failure of the lemon industry in Florida, which prior to the intro duction of citrus scab gave promise of becoming a very profitable undertaking.
