Fungal Outbreak Threatens Kashmir Apple Orchards

Apple trees in Kashmir are getting sick from fungal diseases, like Alternaria and Necrotic Leaf Blotch, which cause dark spots on leaves.

This makes the trees weak and the apples don't grow as well.

The problem is caused by the weather changing, with unusual heat and rain.

Experts are telling farmers to take care of their trees by spraying them with medicine and improving drainage.

The outbreak has become an issue across fruit rich areas.
