Abstract
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) which is cultivated in many countries of north and south climatic zone on more than 2 million ha, is an important vegetable crop. The yield of cabbage cultivation is limited by diseases and pests. The most important diseases are caused by pathogenic fungi. Clubroot (Plasmodiophora Brassica) is spread all over the world and causes high losses, particularly on humid acid soils. In many other Brassicaceae black leg (Phoma lingam) becomes more important to cabbage cultivation, and also Alternaria (A. brassicae, A. brassicicola) is among the most important diseases reducing yields in cabbage. Heavy destruction in cabbage fields is caused by turnip mosaic potyvirus.
