Fusarium Wilt of Brussels Sprouts

Brassica oleracea L. (Brussels Sprouts Group)

A vascular disease caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans, which blocks nutrient transport, leading to wilting and stunted growth.

In the reference 15 varieties crop Brussels sprouts, where this is mentioned in the description.

The disease is caused by the specialized fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans. The pathogen invades the vascular system of the plant, resulting in the disruption of normal water and nutrient uptake. In the early stages of seedling development, symptoms manifest as yellowing of the cotyledons and leaves, and cross-sections of the petioles reveal a characteristic light-brown ring of infected vascular tissue.

In mature plants, Fusarium wilt presents as a loss of turgor, yellowing and premature leaf drop, as well as overall stunted growth. A diagnostic stem cross-section clearly shows a brown ring of the vascular bundle, which darkens over time. In Brussels sprouts, the disease is most typically characterized as a process of systemic wilting that prevents proper crop development.
