Non-Chemical Management
- Plant disease-free seed of disease-resistant varieties. Cabbage cultivars 'Defender' and 'Guardian' are resistant. 'King Cole', 'Roundup', 'Superdane', 'Superkraut', and 'Titanic 90' are reported to have high tolerance.
- Control weeds in and around the garden.
- Rotate crops. Do not plant cabbage or related vegetables in the same location each year.
- Avoid overhead watering.
- Remove plant debris from the garden. Destroy or discard (do not compost) diseased materials.
