Transylvania Region, due to its climatic conditions represents a propitious region for fruit trees nurseries that produce fruit planting material. Prospects for fruit tree nurseries are huge considering the very large areas of sloping lands, often with bound soils for perennial crops, as trees and shrubs. Currently in Transylvania Region, fruit tree nurseries occupy a percentage of 15.78 % reported to the percentage of tree nurseries in Romania.   The main pathogens identified in Transylvania region at apple and pear nurseries: for Apple nurseries: Apple scab (Venturia Inaequalis), Apple Brown Rot (Monilinia fructigena), Apple powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha) and for pear nurseries: Pear scab (Venturia pirina),  Pear leaf spot (Mycosphaerella sentina), Pear blossom blast (Pseudomonas syringae). This paper aims toi dentify the main pathogens in fruit nurseries in Transylvania, in the context of climate change, and to develop a conceptual model of prevention and control of pathogens attack.
