Vegetable Seeds
Naturally Disease Resistant Vegetables
If you suffer from diseases creeping onto your vegetables before harvesting consider using varieties that offer good natural resistance. Diseases often go undetected until severe and good growing practices combined with early intervention can significantly reduce their incidence. However, not everything is within the gardeners control and so starting off with the best varieties that are known to offer strong inbuilt resistance is good advice. We have brought together the best varieties across the most common of diseases into one place to make selection easy.
Rust
Rust is a fungal disease that affects many plants, including leeks and
calabrese. It appears first as leaf spots which develop into orange or brown pustules on the undersides of leaves. These pustules contain fungal spores. Badly affected leaves will turn yellow and drop off, weakening the plant.
To control rust infections, remove any affected leaves promptly and avoid over-feeding with high-nitrogen fertilisers, as this promotes lush
growth more prone to infections. Planting rust-resistant varieties is an effective way to reduce the risk of this disease.
