Why does your White Cabbage Sunta F1 have white powder? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
This is the most common cause of white, blister-like pustules on Brassicaceae like 'Sunta' cabbage. The fungus manifests as white, powdery masses on the underside of leaves which eventually rupture to release spores.
A lack of essential micronutrients like manganese or nitrogen can cause leaf tissue to lose chlorophyll, appearing as pale or white patches. In 'Sunta' cabbage, this often presents as a loss of green pigment in new growth.
