Tennessee has some large leafy greens operations. Most plantings are small scale, hand-harvested.

What are the major diseases of brassica leafy greens? How to identify them? How to control them?

Cercospora leaf spot

Tan spots, may have yellow haloes.

Lesions on stems and veins are diagnostic

Downy mildew

Diffuse yellow spots. May advance to necrotic.

Page 10: Disease Control in Leafy Brassica Greens Control in...Disease Control in Leafy Brassica Greens Steve Bost Extension Plant Pathologist University of Tennessee Presented at 28th Annual

Downy mildew cont’d

White tufts of spores may be seen on the undersides of lesions. Can be difficult to see.

Downy mildew cont’d

Spores on undersides may appear gray, such as on these collards.

Diseased leaves may remain in canopy, causing a quality problem in harvested product.

Powdery mildew

Southern Giant Curled mustard and Alamo turnip growing side-by-side. Mildew very light on turnip.

Bacterial diseases

Black rot Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris

Leaf spots Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris

Xanthomonas campestris pv. armoraciae

Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola

Pseudomonas syringae pv. alisalensis

Page 14: Disease Control in Leafy Brassica Greens Control in...Disease Control in Leafy Brassica Greens Steve Bost Extension Plant Pathologist University of Tennessee Presented at 28th Annual

Bacterial leaf spots Symptoms vary. Easier to see lesions on undersides of leaves.

Page 15: Disease Control in Leafy Brassica Greens Control in...Disease Control in Leafy Brassica Greens Steve Bost Extension Plant Pathologist University of Tennessee Presented at 28th Annual

Bacterial leaf spots Can resemble nutritional problems or fungal diseases

Both of these are bacterial leaf spot diseases.

Bacterial leaf spots cont’d

Vein necrosis distinguishes them from fungal diseases, but often not seen.

Black rot Bacteria become systemic in plant.

V-shaped lesions

Page 18: Disease Control in Leafy Brassica Greens Control in...Disease Control in Leafy Brassica Greens Steve Bost Extension Plant Pathologist University of Tennessee Presented at 28th Annual

Black rot cont’d Bacteria spread rapidly by rain splash.

Bacterial disease control

Sources of infestation are contaminated seeds and infected weeds. So:

• Treat seeds. Hot water seed treatment kills internal and external bacteria, whereas disinfestants such as bleach and trisodium phosphate only kill surface bacteria. Seed company service preferred to do-it-yourself.

• Control cruciferous weeds in and around field.

If disease is found:

• Copper and/or Actigard sprays may suppress the severity of the disease, but often do not suppress incidence, i.e. the number of diseased leaves.

• Incorporation of post-harvest crop debris into soil will hasten decline of bacterial populations.

• Long crop rotations are not necessary, but cole crops should be limited to one crop per year. Longer rotations may be needed if other diseases are a problem or if cruciferous weeds persist.
