The Incidence of Clubroot is on the Rise

From the Oct 16, 2006 Broadcast of Call of the Land


	From pests to diseases. Since clubroot first appeared in Alberta in 2003, the incidence of this fungal disease is on the rise; and it’s being found not only in canola fields, but also in other cruciferous crops. A survey conducted this summer of seven commercial vegetable operations in the Edmonton area indicated one of these operations had a localized clubroot infestation. I spoke with Rob Spencer, Irrigated and Specialty Crop Specialist at the Ag Info Centre, about what can be done about this disease. Interview with Rob Spencer (2:05 minutes) (521 Kb) For information, contact the Ag Info Centre at 310-FARM. The preceding is a transcript of the October 16, 2006 program.
