Treating Pear Leaf Spot

I have three pear trees at the back of my small orchard. A Bosc E pear, Comice E pear, and an Orcas E pear. All purchased from raintreenursery.com

I’ve had them in the ground for three years and not done a lot other than water them and prune them. Each of the trees suffers from what I believe to be Fabraea Leaf Spot.

What should I be doing this year to help these trees? Should I be spraying them with Mancozeb on some regular interval? This document says that Mancozeb is effective, but it doesn’t really explain how/when to apply Mancozeb.

What do I need to do in the future?

I’m pretty new to managing an orchard so specific instruction is useful.

Here is a photo of one of my trees, the Comice E tree.

It looks like pear scab which should clear up fairly easy Apple and Pear Scab Management Guidelines--UC IPM
