Citrus scab (Elsinoë fawcettii Bitancourt & Jenkins) attacks the citrus fruit, leaves and twigs, producing slightly raised, irregular scabby or wart-like outgrowths. The study was conducted in the citrus growing areas of District Sargodha Pakistan, to estimate the severity of disease during the years 2012 and 2013. The results showed that, severity of citrus scab disease in 2012 remained 17.13% and 18.70% during the months of July and August respectively. In 2013, maximum disease severity was observed to be 24.38% during November. Disease severity had no significant relationship with minimum and maximum temperatures while % age relative humidity showed significant effect on the disease development during 2012.
