- Clubroot spores can persist in the soil for many years and are spread in water or soil adhering to equipment, machinery, etc.
- Symptoms on brassicas include wilting, stunted growth, colour change in foliage and root galling.
- Infected roots prevent water and nutrient assimilation.
- Clubroot disease is favoured by a contamination source, and warm, wet, acidic soils.
- Once a plant has been infected there is no effective treatment.
