The Clubroot Distribution Map outlines the rural municipalities where clubroot has been identified.

A total of 51 commercial canola fields now show symptoms of the disease since testing began in 2017. That’s eight more fields since the release of the map last January.

The clubroot pathogen was detected in another five fields where there were no visible symptoms.

The results came from Ministry of Agriculture surveys and samples submitted by producers.
