When to act
Pull plants whose outer leaves wilt and dry first and cut the crown. Brown streaks inside confirm it. Remove sick plants at once. There is no spray threshold.
Before you spray
No spray cures it. Rotate with broccoli, plant clean runners of tolerant varieties, and avoid fields where it struck before.
How to prevent it
- Plant clean runners of a tolerant variety from a trusted nursery.
- Rotate with broccoli and plow its leftovers into the soil. Broccoli residue cuts the fungus in the soil.
- Do not plant strawberry where potato, tomato, eggplant or pepper grew in the last few years.
- Solarize the beds under clear plastic in the dry season before planting.
- Pull wilted plants with their roots and destroy them away from the field, and keep weeds down.
