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.
