Despite its increasing prevalence, established control strategies remain unavailable. This study evaluated the efficacy of 16 fungicides, including succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs; Group 7), demethylation inhibitors (DMIs; Group 3), quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs; Group 11), and multi-site inhibitors, alongside two plant fortifiers. Furthermore, the potential of the ripening inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) was tested after harvest.\n                    <jats:italic>In vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    sensitivity assays showed that most tested active substances had limited inhibitory effects, with the exception of metiram and prothioconazole, which achieved 100% growth inhibition at 100 mg L\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    . Two-year field trials largely reflected these findings, although the plant fortifier acidic clay provided a significant reduction in symptom expression, comparable to the levels achieved by prothioconazole. Notably, application of 1-MCP markedly mitigated disease progression, lowering symptom expression by up to 82\u201389%. The highest level of control was achieved through the combined application of different fungicides in an integrated strategy followed by 1-MCP application in postharvest. These findings suggest that senescence management may contribute to controlling\n                    <jats:italic>R. mali<\/jats:italic>\n                    in commercial apple production.
