CABBAGE ROT.
Bacterial Disease Which Attacks Cab
bages and Allied Plants.

A Bacterial Disease Which Attacks Cab
bages and Allied Plants.
The first published account of this
disease came from the Kentucky station
in 1890, when it was reported as seri-
GUS disease of cabbage. Later, at the
that attacked ruta bagas, producing
peculiar browning or blackening of the
woody tissue, as shown in cross section
of the root. Since then the disease has
been studied at various places, notably
the agricultural department at Wash
ington, from which this account of the
disease emanates, and at the Wisconsin
station.
1t has been found to attack cabbage,
caulifower, ruta bagas, turnips and
quite number of allied plants, some
of which are common weeds. This dis
ease causes the stunting, distortion and
whiting of the part of the plant attack
ed, finally resulting in a sort of dry rot.
Sometimes wet rot develops as re-
suit of other causes. On the leaves the
disease begins with following near
the margins, the veins becoming brown
or black. 1t spreads from the margin
toward the stems. After reaching the
stem it may spread to other leaves or up
or down the plant. If the diseased
stems be cut transversely, the woody
tissue will be seen to be Drowned or
blackened, hence the name, brown or
black rot of cabbage. 1t is especially
destructive to cabbage, the loss in one
locality in Wisconsin having been esti-
mated at more than 800, 900 in three
years. This disease has also caused
heavy losses in western New York, on
Long Island around Washington and
elsewhere.
The disease is spread in a number of
ways, entrance into the plant being Sc
cured through the bites of gnawing in
sects and through the openings along
the leaf margins. The presence Of these
openings called water pores, may be
detected by the emulation of drops of
water during cool weather. The agency
of winds in the distribution of the bao-
terra is somewhat in dispute. There are
indications that the plants may also be-
come contaminated through the seed
bed, manure and soil On this account
the precaution of rotation and choice of
fertilizers should be carefully looked
after. No manure containing cabbage
refuse should be used, and the seed bed
should be III new place each year.
With these precautions, supplemented
by the destruction of insects and remov-
al during the season of diseased plants,
comparatively little loss need be sus.
