Описание: 🥬 Cabbage Rot: A Sneaky Saboteur in the Garden

Cabbage rot refers to a group of diseases that cause decay in cabbage plants, often leading to crop loss both in the field and during storage. These rots are typically caused by bacteria or fungi and can strike at various stages of growth.

🦠 Common Types of Cabbage Rot
Bacterial Soft Rot

Caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum and Dickeya dadantii

Symptoms: Water-soaked lesions that turn brown and mushy

Thrives in warm, humid conditions and spreads via wounds, insects, and contaminated tools

Black Rot

Caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris

Symptoms: Yellow V-shaped lesions on leaf edges, blackened veins

Spreads through water, insects, and infected seeds3

Clubroot

Caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae

Symptoms: Swollen, distorted roots; wilting on hot days

Can persist in soil for over a decade

White Mold (Soft Rot)

Caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Symptoms: Cottony mold, foul odor, rapid tissue collapse

Favors cool, wet conditions

🌱 Prevention & Control
Rotate crops every 3–4 years to reduce soil-borne pathogens

Use resistant cabbage varieties like ‘Bobcat’ or ‘Guardian’
Avoid overhead irrigation and ensure good drainage4
Sanitize tools and harvest during dry conditions
Store cabbage below 4°C with 90–95% humidity to prevent post-harvest rot
Cabbage rot may sound like a gardener’s nightmare, but with a few smart practices, you can keep your greens crisp and rot-free.
