Sažetak
The use of pesticides in plant protection has positive and negative effects. The negative effects are known as side effects. One of them is russeting, and the other is early defoliation. Russeting usually appears on cultivars with yellow coloured fruits. Russeting on Golden Delicious apples may be caused by stress like unfavourable weather conditions, especially low temperatures in fruit setting, pesticide application at high temperatures, incompatible pesticide mixtures, etc. Many fungicides, especially those with copper ingredients, can also increase russeting on apple fruits. This paper presents our two-year observations of russeting effect on Golden Delicious cultivars, resulting from stress caused by different fungicides used against apple scab.
