Saving clubroot infected plants?

[Oldmacdonald]

Is there anyway it can be done?
Batch of brassica destined for the farm shop with varying levels of infection. From zero to some dying.

Considering a dressing of calciprills. Any foliar feeds?

Or do I just look away and pretend they dont exist?

Field history was fine.

Top dressing with calcium nitrate can help. There is a boronated calcium nitrate product from Yara sold for the purpose.

If you have anymore to plant consider incorporating Perlka/calcium cyanamide pre-pllanting/drilling - quite effective

I don't think foliar feed nor running ridger to draw soil around stems is effective, but I could be wrong.

Warm wet weather or irrigation can draw out club root, especially if you are growing Asian brassicas.

As above, try perlka fertiliser or calcium nitrate, have heard of people subsoiling in between the rows to get some air into the soil aswell, probably need a lot of sand on the field if you’re going to continue growing brassicas in it.

I know I sound biased but I was always lead to believe a high pH would counter clubroot

Therefore get some lime on it ASAP, I guess using prills would be best in this situation. It will really only work if you get significant rain or can irrigate.
