Pest & Diseases – Cabbage White Rust or Blister
Posted on 29. Jul, 2007 by Tracey in Pests
What is it? – White powdery patches on cabbage leaves usually on the edges. This can be spread by overcrowding and damp periods.
Month Occurred: June/July.
Solution: According to RHS remove and dispose of infected material in my case the leaves, do not compost. My cabbages only have the heads left on them now, I have had to remove nearly every leaf as the white rust had spread eveywhere in the wet conditions.
