How to control soft rot disease in cabbage crop

Erwinia carotovora, a major disease of cabbage, causes small, watery spots on the leaves, which then rapidly spread to the entire leaf. The tissue becomes soft and supple, and within a few days, the plant falls.
Due to this disease, a foul smell arises from the affected area. Infected flowers hang from the plant like a bag filled with water.
For effective control of this disease, plant the crops in proper rows in the field so that proper drainage is maintained.
For chemical control, spray of Velidamycin 3% SL @ 300 ml/acre or Streptomycin Sulphate 90% + Tetracycline Hydrochloride 10% W/W @ 24 gm/acre or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gm / acre.
Spray Pseudomonas fluorescens 250g/acre for biological control.
