Abstract

  1. 1.

    In a number of variety trials with white cabbage observations on the occurrence of tipburn were made. The various varieties showed different degrees of susceptibility. Of the Dutch autumn varieties, Succes and Glory of Enkhuizen were little susceptible, whereas Langedijker Autumn White was highly susceptible. Between the strains of the latter variety there were clear differences in this respect.

  2. 2.

    The phenomenon of tipburn may be associated with the water regime of the plant. However, there was no correlation between the amount of wrapper leaves (as a measure of the size of the surface of transpiration) and the degree of tipburn.

  3. 3.

    The observed differences in the amounts of tipburn are correlated with different growth rates. Presumably growth has been rapid, and the resulting weak tissue may constitute an important factor of susceptibility.

  4. 4.

    Some consequencies for the breeding for resistance to tipburn are discussed.
