Hi ropster.

I'm no noted for advising on veg often, but we have the same problem. I've been reading up and whitefly aren't a big problem to brassicas. The mould grows on the honeydew secreted by the flies/nymphs but they can be hosed off, although they will probably return (we haven't done this yet :wub:).

Thanks for that
I have also been reading and I think it is sooty mold, as you say because of the whitefly honeydew

i read soapy water might shift them, giving it a try next time im up at the lotty

spray with washing up liquid solution - makes 'em disappear for a while - spray again when they come back and Ive found they usually give up after that and take up residence in your neignours plot!  ::)
