Default Brassica virus?

I've got summer broccoli, miniature kohlrabi[1] and miniature Savoys,
all of which are showing mottled yellow patches on some leaves on some
plants. The patches bear no apparent relationship to water droplets or
anything else, and the affected plants have an indefinable air of being
under the weather. Could this be a virus, or is it some deficiency I
could do something about? Watering with dilute seaweed extract didn't
significantly cheer them up.


I've just worked out that my cherished sugar peas are dying because of
root rot, so I'm about to water them all (soil/roots only) with Bordeaux
mixture just to show willing :-((

regards

[1] Never grown kohlrabi before, never eaten them. But the miniatures
are terribly sweet (as in cute).
