Severe damages on Chinese cabbages were recorded in Switzerland in 1994. They were due to systemic infection by Phoma lingam. The most distinctive symptoms were a greyish discolouration of foliar ribs due to the presence of mycelium in vessels, which made the cabbages unmarketable. All isolates of P. lingam were of B-type (avirulent type). The efficacy of fungicides was evaluated on inoculated Chinese cabbages in greenhouse experiments. Best control of Phoma leaf spots was obtained with difenoconazole, metconazole, prochloraz, and tebuconazole
