STEM CANKERS
Cause: Black leg (Phoma lingam), a fungal disease. Cankers usually appear at the base of stem. As the disease progresses yellow leaf spots develop.
Treatment: Rotate crops annually and remove crop debris. Avoid planting sites where other cole crops were grown in the previous year. Disease resistant varieties and disease free seed are available.
