What Does ACLSV Stand For?

ACLSV stands for Apple Chlorotic Leaf Spot Virus

ACLSV, or Apple Chlorotic Leaf Spot Virus, is a viral pathogen that affects apple trees, leading to the development of chlorotic leaf spots. This condition can significantly impact the health and productivity of apple orchards by reducing photosynthetic efficiency and fruit yield. Management of ACLSV primarily involves the implementation of rigorous sanitation practices, use of virus-free planting materials, and effective pest control measures to mitigate its spread.
