 Clubroot is a serious soil-borne disease of canola and is considered a declared pest under Alberta's Agricultural Pests Act. It is not a new disease in Canada or Alberta; however, it is just in the last few years that it has been found in a number of counties in Alberta. Clubroot continues to spread and is a significant concern for Alberta producers.

Here are the 2007 Alberta Clubroot Survey Results that show the counties surveyed for incidences of the disease. In addition, there is map of Alberta showing the counties with confirmed cases of clubroot disease in 2007.

Additional information regarding Clubroot Disease of Canola and Mustard is available on-line.
