Disease resistance is a tough thing to quantify because it varies so much from region to region. Studies often have different ratings for the same variety, plus there is a lot of anecdotal information out there.
I got tired of getting different answers, so I compiled 11 independent university or Co-op studies, averaged the results, and normalized them. I only looked at varieties that were in 5 or more of the studies so that I could be more confident about these numbers.
A few interesting notes from the data:
I am working on doing this for the other common apple diseases next. The goal is to compile them all together to come up with an “Overall Disease Resistance” score.
Also, if anyone knows of a study I did not reference, please send it my way so I can add it to the database.
