Vitax Cabbage Collars are an essential tool for vegetable gardeners looking to protect brassicas such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts from cabbage root fly damage. Designed as a simple, physical barrier, these collars offer a highly effective non-chemical solution for maintaining healthy crops throughout the growing season, though they require careful placement during the early transplant phase to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Yes, they can be cleaned and reused for future planting seasons.
No, these are specifically designed to stop cabbage root fly larvae from accessing the roots; they do not provide protection against aphids.
Apply the collars immediately after transplanting your brassica seedlings into their final outdoor positions.
No, the design allows for natural stem expansion as the plant matures.
The collars are made of a durable, flexible material designed to withstand garden conditions, consistent with the standard manufacturing of Vitax plant protection products.
Ensure the collar is pressed firmly into the soil surface and consider pinning it down with small garden staples if needed.
Check that the collar is completely flush with the soil; any gap between the collar and the dirt acts as an entry point for pests.
To set up your collars, simply slide the collar around the stem of the plant at soil level. It is vital to ensure the collar is sitting flat against the soil surface; if it is tilted, pests may find a gap to access the roots.
Compatibility: These collars are specifically designed for brassica crops including cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.
Care: While the material is durable, inspect the collars periodically during the season to ensure they haven't been displaced by heavy rain or garden traffic. After the harvest, the collars can be cleaned, dried, and stored for use in the following season.
