Default Brassicas problem

Can anyone tell me what caused this please.
It appeared on the plants early on. Most of them battled on to become healthy plants..the rest died.
It was on all brassicas...any help appreciated.

Did a quick google image search and it looks like it might be white spot disease. This article might be helpful: http://www.which.co.uk/documents/pdf...ses-151474.pdf

Also may be a good idea to rotate as diseases build up in soil, so grow something non-brassica next time around in that area.

It looks more like sun scorch to me than any form of disease, plants are very sensitive to direct sunlight when they are young particularly if the leaves are wet
