Cabbage and cauliflower are important cole crops grown
in India, accounting for about ten percent of the total
vegetable production of the country (Anon, 2011). Black
rot caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris
(Pammel) Dowson is one of the causes which limit the
commercial production of the crops. The bacteria can
attack the crops at both seedling and planting stages
and the infection results from infected seeds. Due to
the diseases, there is an extensive loss in the field and
quality of curds and yield as well as vigour of the seed
crop (Kashyap and Dhiman, 2009). Under severe attack
of this disease, substantial reduction in the yield to the
tune of 5 to 70% has been reported (Sharma and
Ramchandra, 1991). Management of the disease is
restricted to use of resistant cultivars, hot water
treatment of seeds followed by application of antibiotics
or protectant fungicides (Hilderbrand, 1994), but the
control has been only partial. Keeping this at the backdrop
an effort was directed to use seed treatment, root
dipping, antibiotics and spray of bactericides and biocontrol
agents in combination as well as in solo for the
management of the menace, under field conditions.
Field trials under the All India Co-ordinate Research
Project on Vegetable Crops were conducted at the
Research farm, Indian Institute of Vegetable Research,
Varanasi during Rabi seasons of 2008-09, 2009-10 and
2010-11. The crop was sown in end November with a
spacing of 20 cm× 15 cm. The plot size was 2.4 m ×
2.4m. The varieties used were ‘Hajipur local’ of cabbage
and cauliflower respectively.
