Diseases
Disease Symptoms & Management
Black Rot First signs appear along leaf margins as chlorotic regions progressing towards the midrib forming a V-shaped area. Bacteria transmitted through seeds.
Control: Use disease-free seeds, resistant hybrids, and spray Copper Oxy Chloride 50% WP + K Cycline (2.5g + 0.5g/L).
Leaf Blight Pin-sized black specks on leaves or stems that enlarge concentrically forming a target spot or bull’s eye lesion with yellow halo.
Control: Fluxapyroxad 250 G/L + Pyraclostrobin 250 G/L SC (0.3 ml/L).
Downy Mildew Small brownish spots on leaves; whitish powdery mass below during cloudy weather causing defoliation.
Spray: Fenamidone 10% + Mancozeb 505 WG (2.5g/L), Metiram 55% + Pyraclostrobin 5% WG (2g/L).
Black Leg On seedlings, black pycnidia visible as small dots on hypocotyls. In advanced stages, greyish brown spots with purple/black margins.
Control: COC @ 2 gm/L, Streptocyclin 0.5 gm/L, Thiophenate methyl @ 2 gm/L.
Pests
Pest Symptoms & Management
Diamondback Moth (DBM) Causes holes in leaves leading to severe damage.
Control: Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC (0.3 ml/L), Spinosad 45% SC (0.15 ml/L), Pheromone traps with lures @ 30 traps/ha.
Borers & Loopers Voracious leaf eaters.
Control: Chlorpyriphos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% w/w (2 ml/L), Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG (1 g/L), Pheromone traps with lures @ 30 traps/ha.
Aphids Sap sucking causing leaf distortion.
Control: Acephate 20 SP% (1 g/L).
Flea Beetle Scrapes chlorophyll and skeletonizes leaves.
Control: Spinosad 45% SC (0.15 ml/L), Bifenthrin 10% EC @ 1.5 ml/L.
Cabbage Butterfly Adults lay eggs under leaves; caterpillars feed on leaves causing stunted growth.
Control: Chlorpyriphos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% w/w (2 ml/L), Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG (1 g/L), Pheromone traps with lures @ 30 traps/ha.
Harvesting Harvesting is done when the heads are well developed and firm, usually ready by 55–60 days after transplanting.
Yield 40–45 t/ha
Parameter Description
Tip Burn Brown or necrotic spots at the tips and margins of inner leaves within the head linked with calcium deficiency and excessive nitrogen and phosphorus.
Control: Ensure adequate calcium supply through soil amendments or foliar applications, and manage nitrogen and potassium fertilization accordingly.
Splitting / Cracking Cracks or splits appearing on the head due to rapid growth, high humidity, and excessive water pressure within the head can lead to splitting.
Control: Avoid excess irrigation and fertilizers.
Blindness Loss of inner leaves within the head, leaving only the outer leaves due to low and high temperature.
Control: Regulate temperature in the nursery. In case of raised bed nurseries, provide adequate irrigation and shade.
Wiry Stem Elongated hypocotyls in seedlings and in mature seedlings hard stems and lesser leaves caused by excess temperature.
Control: Regulate temperature in the nursery. In case of raised bed nurseries, provide adequate irrigation and shade.
