Neofabraea malicorticis is a fungal plant pathogen in the family Dermateaceae that causes bullseye rot on apples and pears, producing circular lesions visible on apple twigs and affecting the bark of fruit trees, which is reflected in its species name. First described in 1913 and reclassified under several historical synonyms since, it was reported in Italy in 2016, indicating its continuing geographic spread and relevance to fruit production.

Caused By Agent Kind
Entity-backed identity for the agent-kind enum value this pest or disease already carries, resolved to an agriculture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The agent-kind fact itself stays on the pest or disease unchanged.
