Clubroot Pathotype Evaluation and Monitoring

The Challenge

The development of canola varieties with effective resistance to clubroot requires up-to-date knowledge on Plasmodiophora brassicae distribution and pathotype composition, along with access to well-characterized isolates of the pathogen that represents the most important virulence profiles.

The Project

This project aims to provide the foundation needed to drive much of the clubroot research and resistance-breeding activities across Canada.

The Results

This section will be updated upon completion of the project.

Grower Benefits

This research will shed light on clubroot situations at the forefront of the outbreak, to help canola farmers respond effectively to the challenges of clubroot on farm.
