Pak choi with brown streaks in stems
It isn't just pak choi, but I have seen it in chard and other things. Quite a lot develop long brown streaks in the stems, which look like some form of rot, mostly on older leaves. What I don't know is what triggers it. I have flea beetle, but I don't think that's it, as I can see no association with physical damage. Any ideas? Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I remember growing Chinese cabbage a few years ago, some of them got a stem rot which sounds almost the same. I was told it was Boron deficiency. |

Yes, the pundits quote that as a mantra, but there is no evidence for it, and I am pretty sure that it is not the case with me. Inter alia, one would expect far more uniformity across plants than I am observing. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
