Guess the Pest! September 15 Answer: Back Rot

David Owens, Extension Entomologist, owensd@udel.edu

Congratulations to Tyler Bill for correctly identifying both the culprit and the cause: Black rot is taking down my cabbage field. Last fall, the field had various brassicas in it, brussel sprouts, broccoli, and mustards. Crop rotation is the most important management strategy for this disease.
