[1] However, due to high levels of within-population diversity of the American populations, it has been hypothesized that America is N. ditissima place of origin.

To minimize the number of wounds the pathogen can enter through, select trees that are well adapted to the local climate.

Infection by N. ditissima often occurs through wounds in the autumn and spring-summer period, therefore, it's best to apply fungicides at those times.

A mixture of carbendazim and a scab fungicide, such as dithianon, is the suggested treatment in areas with a severe canker problem.

[5] Thiophanate-methyl is another fungicide that is highly effective because it protects trees against the pathogen and suppresses sporulation of already infected plants.
