Get online risk warnings for key brassica diseases in your area.
Brassica Alert provides warnings for Ringspot and White blister (along with Moth and Thrip risk) based on:
Weekly Ringspot spore monitoring at 7 sites in Lincolnshire
In-field weather station information from the 7 sites
Predictive disease models developed by University of Worcester with AHDB funding
Brassica Alert is a proven valuable aid when used as part of your complete disease control strategy.
Brassica Alert warnings are designed to support your own in-field monitoring, to select the optimum fungicides and spray timings to maximize yields and quality for your crops

Syngenta Solutions
AMISTAR TOP and PLOVER offer excellent curative and protectant control of ringspot and Alternaria. While AMISTAR TOP also provides useful protection against white blister, the highly systemic FOLIO GOLD gives best control in conditions of high disease pressure.
FOLIO GOLD is approved for use on both bBrussels sprouts and cauliflowers only. EAMUs exist for the use of FUBOL GOLD on cabbage and SL567A for collards, kale and broccoli - growers must have a copy of the EAMU certificate, obtained from the CRD website, prior to use.
