White rust, caused by the fungus Albugo candida, affects all parts of cruciferous plants except the roots. It causes powdery white or creamy yellow blister-like pustules on leaves, stems, flower stalks, and siliques. If the infection is systemic, it results in hypertrophy and hyperplasia, distorting and swelling stems and floral parts. The disease can cause yield losses between 17-37%. Management strategies include using certified seed, seed treatment, removing weeds, crop rotation, deep plowing, balanced fertilization, and fungicide sprays of mancozeb or mixtures of metalaxyl and mancozeb.
