Clubroot symptoms
Syngenta’s solutions
Clubroot is a soil-borne fungal disease which attacks the
roots of Brassica crops. It is considered as one of the most
economically important diseases of cultivated crucifers. Roots
affected by clubroot are swollen and distorted. The damage
caused to the roots causes crops to be stunted and, in most
cases, there is a reduction in yield. The pathogen survives
in the soil for up to 15 years in the form of resting spores
released from decayed galls.
The potential of cultural practices to reduce crop losses due
to clubroot are limited and chemical treatments to control the
fungus are either banned, due to environmental regulations,
or are not cost-effective. The best way to combat clubroot
is through the breeding of resistant varieties. Syngenta has
succeeded, after many years of breeding, to introduce a high
level of resistance in varieties of cabbage (Chinese, White &
Green), Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower. Syngenta
will, over the coming years,be introducing the resistance
across the Brassica range.
