Symptoms can appear at any growth stage as yellow, V-shaped lesions that extend toward the base of the leaf resulting in wilt and necrosis. Blackening of veins within lesions and adjacent areas is a diagnostic feature of this pathogen. Symptoms of black rot can be similar to those of drought stress, overwatering, or excessive fertilizer application...
Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris is a bacterium that blocks the water-conducting tissue of the plant with xanthan, a mucilaginous sugar. Its most important means of transmission is on seed; as little as 0.03% infection can cause epidemics. Infested seed and transplants give the pathogen the ability to travel long distances. Symptoms may not ap...

This page provides details of the symptoms and biology of black rot of brassicas caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. This information was last updated in 2023.
Description: Black rot needs plenty of warm, rainy weather to become active. The risk is highest when temperatures range between 25-30C (77-86F). Under these conditions, the bacteria first cause irregular V-shaped yellow and brown patches to appear on outer leaves, with the tip of the V pointed inward toward a leaf vein.
Black rot is caused by the bacteria Xanthamonas campestris pv campestris. This bacteria can infect any plant in the Brassica family, but tends to be most damaging in broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale.
