CLUBROOT SOLUTIONS
Clubroot (Plasmodiophora Brassicae) is a serious disease affecting Brassica. An estimated 10% of the total cultured area worldwide contract the disease. Syngenta has invested years of breeding to offer a high level of resistance in their Brassica varieties.
Clubroot symptoms Clubroot is a soil borne fungal disease which attacks the roots of Brassica crops. It is considered as one of the most economically important diseases of cultivated crucifers. Roots affected by clubroot are swollen and distorted. The damage caused to the roots causes crops to be stunted and, in most cases, there is a reduction in yield. The pathogen survives in the soil for up to 15 years in the form of resting spores released from decayed galls. 9 CLUBROOT SOLUTIONS
Syngenta’s solutions The potential of cultural practices to reduce crop losses due to clubroot are limited and chemical treatments to control the fungus are either banned, due to environmental regulations, or are not cost-effective. The best way to combat clubroot is through the breeding of resistant varieties. Syngenta has succeeded, after many years of breeding, to introduce a high level of resistance in varieties of cabbage (Chinese, White & Green), Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower. Syngenta will, over the coming years, be introducing the resistance across the Brassica range. We currently have the following varieties with Clubroot resistance:

Syngenta Seeds Vegetables has exercised reasonable care and skill in compiling this brochure.
All resistances quoted refer only to strains of races or pathotypes indicated on the varieties. Other pathogen races or pest biotypes capable of overcoming the resistance may exist or emerge.
Syngenta Seeds Vegetables uses highly elaborate analytical methods to verify specific variety resistances. Specificity of pests or pathogens may vary over time and space and depends on environmental factors.
In order to maximize the efficiency of a resistance, it is highly recommended to mix different ways of control such as growing conditions, plant protection products and genetic resistance as part of an integrated crop management.
The latest International Seed Federation (I.S.F.) terms and definitions describing the reaction of plants to pests and pathogens and to abiotic stresses for the vegetable seed industry are hereby incorporated by reference. The meaning of such terms in any related statement made by Syngenta shall be as provided by the I.S.F. If Syngenta adopts a proper term to define the reaction of plants to pests and pathogens and to abiotic stresses, Syngenta shall inform the customers of such term and of its definition. All data in this brochure are intended for general guidance only and the user should apply it in accordance with his own knowledge and experience of local conditions. In case of doubt we recommend that a small scale trial production be carried out to determine how local conditions may affect the variety.
