StopScab: A Danish research programme for screening substitutes to copper fungicides. %U http://orgprints.org/33/ %X The Danish research project StopScab (2002-2004) has recently been initiated to identify and begin to develop some new approaches and materials for the control of apple scab in organic growing. Four linked objectives are included: 1) screening of materials for scab control 2), histopathological investigation of host-pathogen interactions 3) orchard testing of selected control compounds and 4) characterisation of metabolite profiles in apples.
