Abstract This study was conducted at the University of Minnesota Rosemount Agricultural Experiment Station. Cabbage was transplanted bare-root on 28 Jun. Plots consisted of two 25 ft (7.6 m) rows on 40 inch (1.0 m) centers with plants spaced 13 inches (0.33 m) apart. Ten ft (3.0 m) borders and 10 ft (3.0 m) alleys separated plots. Treatments were arranged in a RCB design with 4 replications. Treatment applications were initiated during the 9-12 true leave stage, before precupping. Treatments were applied 26 and 31 Jul, 08, 14 and 21 Aug using a moderate-clearance Spirit sprayer with 3 TX-10 hollowcone nozzles (1 overhead and 2 drop nozzles) per row. The sprayer was calibrated to deliver 27 gpa (252.5 liters/ha) at 47 psi (3.3 kg/cm2) and 3 mph (4.8 km/hr). Bond sticker/extender was added to all treatments (except Confirm treatments) at a rate of 0.10 fl oz/gal (0.8 ml/liter). Counts were taken from 5 heads per plot on 15 Aug and 10 heads per plot on 26 Aug. Ten heads per plots were evaluated for feeding damage on 30 Aug using Green’s rating scale (J. Econ. Entomol. 1969 62:4 798-800): 1 = no feeding damage; 2 = minor feeding damage on the wrapper leaves (1 % eaten); 3 = moderate feeding damage on the wrapper leaves (2–5% eaten) with no head damage; 4 = moderate feeding damage on the wrapper leaves (6-10% eaten) and minor feeding scars on the head; 5 = moderate to heavy feeding on the wrapper leaves (11-30% eaten) and moderate feeding scars on the head; 6 = >30% of the wrapper leaves eaten and numerous feeding scars on the head.

Abstract The experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Guam, at the Inarajan site. The experiment was a randomized complete block design with four treatments and four replications. Each treatment consisted of four rows of head cabbage with eight plants on each row. Replications were separated by 60 cm of bare soil. Cabbage seedlings were planted 2 Mar 1993

Abstract TxAG-5, a sclerotinia resistant Spanish germplasm line released jointly by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, USDA, and the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station, was crossed in reciprocal to two Spanish lines, Tx851856 and Sn73–30. Parent, F1, F2, BC1F1, and F3 populations were evaluated under high natural inoculum for resistance to Sclerotinia minor using a disease rating scale of 1 (no disease) to 5 (severely diseased), and the number of days from first appearance of the fungus until plant death was recorded. F2:3 families were compared for disease the following year for genotypic assessment of the F2 parents. F1 generation plants of the Sn73–30 cross were susceptible, but F1 plants from Tx851856 were intermediate. Some TxAG-5 succumbed to the disease. F2 distributions were continuous. F2 genotypic frequency distributions based on F3 and BC1F3 families were near continuous. Broadsense heritability estimates for disease ratings for TxAG5/Tx851856 and TxAG-5/Sn73–30 were 14 and 23%, respectively. Narrowsense heritabilities based on parent offspring regression of F3 families on F2 plants were 11% for Tx851856/TxAG-5 and 1% for Sn73–30/TxAG-5. Selection for resistance among the F2 plants to increase the frequency of resistant F3 families would have been ineffective.
