Ian Boxall says it’s time for producers and the canola industry to do something about clubroot.
“Clubroot could be the biggest thing to happen in Saskatchewan. Loss of an industry? I don’t know what the word is,” said Boxall, who farms near Tisdale, Sask.
Clubroot, a soil borne disease, is not just a threat to Saskatchewan. It has been a problem in Alberta for about 15 years and is now established across the Prairies. It’s been found in Saskatchewan and symptoms of the disease have been detected in southern Manitoba and the Swan River Valley.
