The source of acid rain is known, essentialy SO2 and NOX emmiter. The principal emmiter are fossile fuel combustion, industry, forest fire and volcanoes.

The suspect here is SO2 for affecting the cells of leaves and made them more suceptible to fungus infections. Early treatement recommand is copper spray and keep an environnement as less humid as possible and a good aeration.

Hoping that this is helpful :wink::innocent::v:
