Brassica stem canker is a disease complex of several fungi causing symptoms that range from superficial scurfing, russetting and discrete lesions on stems to complete stem rot and plant collapse. This project investigated ways for a more sustainable brassica production. Key outputs included fact sheet or handbook for growers on the effective management of Brassica stem canker in the vegetable industry, articles and newsletters for growers.
