Notes:
In Brussels sprouts, Erysiphe critciferarum was found to penetrate deeply into the bads as well as infect the leaves and stems. Differences in the susceptibility of cultivars was evident in the field, and resistant cultivars included Bintree, Fasko 48, Frigostar, Groeningse Late, Leda, Solid Line and Triumph. Some cultivars had high levels of infection on the buds and low levels on the leaves, and other cultivars vice versa. Passage of infected buds through a mechanical stripper did not remove all infected bud-leaves, and with highly susceptible cultivars it would be necessary to hand trim the buds also. In cold weather powdery mildew caused additional blemishing of the sprout buds since the areas around mycelial colonies turned black. A key for assessing the percentage leaf area infected is described.
