Clubroot in this county for quite a few years. Nobody concerned much. Seed all clubroot varieties. Volunteer control very important. County publishes a map in the paper of positive clubroot finds from their surveillance program. Gives the agricultural 'services' staff something to do. The other thing they do is run the chamomile gestapo. Otherwise they just drink coffee and smoke if needed. If positive, you have to do three years of no canola or related crops. Wheat and canola the norm here.

Not even sure if they enforce the three year rule here anymore. If ever.

Would it be any worse than schlerotinia which can be devastating too. Although there is a fungicide bandaid and soil applied Contans WG (Coniothyrium minitans strain CON/M/91-08 – C. minitans) for some measure of control.

County of Two Hills next door actually sprayed a field of canola down in summer 2017 that was on a no canola restriction due to clubroot.

You want to see a clubroot side show you need to come to leduc county the birthplace of clubroot . Big farmers seeding canola / wheat a rotation there paying 180 bucks an acre then when it’s inflected with clubroot the seed spud guys will pay 300 or more an acre which pisses off the grain farmer so he’s trying to get the county to stop seed potatoes cause he “plows” and the dirt will blow into his unifected land which is bs he’s just mad at losing the land . Meanwhile well there worrying about plowing nobody notices that the seed potatoes are being shipped out of the county all over North America with are good leduc clubroot hanging onto them.

Nobody seems too concerned here anymore.
Which is a little dangerous.

Same here. Plant clubroot resistant varieties, I think there is some one year residual type of product you can add to the cost of the recipe and then SEEEEEEND IT . Straight cut 50 bu/ac, sell for $10.00/bu and laugh all the way to the bank. It works until it doesn’t.

This biological fungicide MADE/SUPPLIED BY BAYER(Austranada, horrifying isn't it!) is for schlerotinia not clubroot.

Apply the fall before seeding canola(any brassica crops). A bit of a shot in the dark because you don't know for sure the disease will be a problem. Definitely seen as more of a preventative measure than control of infection after the fact. I guess a field history in the wet zones might warrant it.

its like getting all your shots when young as opposed to fighting every disease with bandaid solutions....

Fungicides are a bandaid....but a tremendous moneymaker for those companies...
