 * One of the destructive diseases on seed crop. Older leaves are more susceptible.
 * Initial symptoms are in the form of dark yellow spots on the leaf surface. Later on, the spots enlarge to circular areas with concentric rings and possibly surrounded by yellow halos.
 * In severe cases, the entire plant defoliates. Violets spots develop on infected cabbage seed pots which intensify in wet weather.

Management:
  * Use disease-free seeds, practicing crop rotation.
  * Seed treatment with hot water ( 50c for 30 min) helps to minimize the disease incidence.

3. Fusarium wilt: ( Fusarium oxysporum f.sp conglutinans)

Symptoms:
 * Mostly affects the seedling in the nursery stage. But symptoms are visible only 2 to 4 weeks after transplanting.
 * Initial symptoms appear as the development of yellowish color on the side of the plant.
 * The lower leaves turn yellow in color and later it will affect the upper leaves. With time the yellow leaves turn brown and affected tissue becomes dry and brittle.

Management:
 * Use conventional methods such as crop rotation, seed treatment and destruction of crop refuse will add a little value.
