Diseases

Disease	Symptoms & Control Measures
Black Rot	Chlorotic, V-shaped lesions at leaf margins; seed-transmitted bacterial disease. Control with disease-free seeds, resistant hybrids, and Copper Oxy Chloride 50% WP + K Cycline (2.5g + 0.5g/L).
Leaf Blight	Pin-sized black specks that enlarge into target-spot/bull's-eye lesions with a yellow halo. Control with Fluxapyroxad 250G/L + Pyraclostrobin 250G/L SC (0.3ml/L).
Downy Mildew	Small brownish spots with a whitish powdery mass on the lower leaf surface during cloudy weather, causing defoliation. Control with Fenamidone 10% + Mancozeb 50% WG (2.5g/L) or Metiram 55% + Pyraclostrobin 5% WG (2g/L).
Black Leg	Black pycnidia on the seedling hypocotyl; greyish-brown stem spots with purple/black margins in advanced stages. Control with COC @2gm/ltr, Streptocyclin 0.5gm/ltr, Thiophanate methyl @2gm/ltr.

Pests

Name of the Pest	Symptoms & Management
DBM (Diamondback Moth)	Makes holes in leaves causing severe damage. Control with Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC (0.3ml/L), Spinosad 45% SC (0.15ml/L), Pheromone traps with lures @30 traps/ha.
Borers & Loopers	Voracious leaf eaters. Control with Chlorpyriphos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% w/w (2ml/L), Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG (1g/L), Pheromone traps @30 traps/ha.
Aphids	Suck sap causing leaf distortion. Control with Acephate 20% SP (1g/L).
Flea Beetle	Scrapes chlorophyll and skeletonizes the leaf. Control with Spinosad 45% SC (0.15ml/L), Bifenthrin 10% EC @1.5ml/ltr.
Cabbage Butterfly	Caterpillars feed on leaves causing stunted growth. Control with Chlorpyriphos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% w/w (2ml/L), Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG (1g/L), Pheromone traps @30 traps/ha.
