Cabbage and peach aphids, which breed naturally on this host, readily transmit the causal virus to healthy plants after feeding on diseased leaves. Losses could be materially reduced by dusting or spraying with nico- tine for aphid control while the plants are young, with applications at 10-day intervals (see Extension Circular 87). Plants showing visible symptoms (fig. 20, top) should not be put out in the field. Club Root.—This is another important fungus disease which, for some unknown reason, is extremely rare in California.
