Clubroot cases increase in Saskatchewan
New cases of clubroot have been found in Saskatchewan.
The Ministry of Agriculture released the new Clubroot Distribution Map which outlines the rural municipalities (RM) where clubroot has been identified.
SaskCanola chair Wayne Truman said visible clubroot symptoms have been confirmed in 75 commercial canola fields in 25 rural municipalities since 2017.
“Previously we only had five soil only positives in five R.M.’s and now we have 23 soil only in 19 R.M.’s,” Truman said. “That means the spore load is increasing. It hasn’t got to the place where it’s affecting the plants but that is the next step.”
