A comparison of clubroot development and management on canola and Brassica vegetables, Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology, 35:2, 175-191, Abstract: Clubroot of canola was identified for the first time on the Canadian prairies in 2003, and is spreading rapidly across the region.Although clubroot has been studied extensively on vegetable Brassica crops, it was not clear initially how much of the information would be directly transferable from the intensive production of vegetable crops to the extensive production practices used for canola. This review examines similarities and differences between clubroot development and management on vegetable crops and canola. One important difference was that clubroot generally has a larger economic impact on canola, which is harvested for seed, than on vegetables, especially those where early vegetative growth is the marketable component. Also, clubroot has spread within the production area more quickly than was expected based on vegetable production. This occurs in large part because the resting spores are readily moved within and between fields on the heavy machinery used for canola production, but movement of spores by wind and water is also being assessed. Interestingly, crop rotation to reduce yield losses may be a more viable approach for canola than in vegetable production. Resistance to clubroot is the most consistent and economically viable approach to clubroot management in canola, but several lines of evidence indicate that this resistance may not be durable. Fortunately, the large acreage of canola production in Canada ensures that new sources of resistance will be developed and deployed as existing sources are eroded. Pathogen development and cultural control are very similar on vegetables and canola; bait crops and soil amendments are generally not commercially viable in either system; and biocontrol has a limited potential at this time. Manipulation of seeding date, application of fungicide, and soil fumigation generally have more potential for use in vegetable production than for canola. Identification of approaches that reduce disease pressure in clubroot-infested fields and increase the durability and diversity of genes for clubroot resistance represent important lines of future research.Résumé: La hernie des crucifères a été détectée pour la première fois dans des cultures de canola sur les Prairies canadiennes en 2003. Cette maladie continue d'envahir la région à un rythme accéléré. Cette maladie a fait l'objet de nombreuses études chez les cultures maraîchères du genre Brassica et nous ne savions pas, initialement, quelles informations dérivées de la production intensive des cultures maraîchères seraient pertinentes pour la culture à grande échelle du canola. Cet article de synthèse examine les similitudes et les différences entre l'évolution et la gestion de la hernie chez les cultures maraîchères et le canola. Une différence importante est le plus grand impact économique de la hernie sur le canola, qui est cultivé pour sa graine, que sur les cultures mar...
