Clubroot research in canola continues at the Langdon Research Extension Center. LREC plant pathologist Venkat Chapara is verifying management strategies learned from Saskatchewan work in North Dakota. Chapara says some cover crops can be a host for clubroot. “Radishes are very susceptible. If you aren’t using canola for awhile, but use radishes for a cover crop, you’re probably still propagating the pathogen in the soils,” says Chapara. “Be sure to soil test and use a varietal resistance.”
