Asking for a customer. If mustard was to be put into some land as a greening crop. Should clubroot be a worry in a osr crop in a years time or so? He thinks as they are both Brasicas it would be and I'm not an agronomist. Also is clubroot as crop/ yearly problem or one that never leaves the field?

Thanks

Yes it can act as a host for Clubroot, so to minimise the build up keep it out of the rotation.
Equally, make sure that any rape volunteers , runch, shepherd's purse and charlock are kept out of the intermediate crops. They are all members of the brassica family and will host clubroot
