Clubroot is a very common and no less dangerous disease that affects all cruciferous plants.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh said that the disease can be recognized by the growth on the root system.
Signs of clubroot can also be detected on the leaves – they wither, wrinkle, and become covered with growths for no apparent reason.
As a result, the summer resident’s entire harvest will consist of empty heads of cabbage.
To know how to fight the disease, you should find out what conditions contribute to its development.
Thus, clubroot spores prefer heavy and acidic soils and develop at temperatures from 18 to 35 degrees Celsius. Suitable air humidity is 70-90%.
It is possible to get rid of clubroot only with a comprehensive approach.
Gardeners advise using ash to combat fungus, scattering 0.5 kg of wood burning residue on each “square”.
In addition, effective drugs include those such as "VDG" or "Teovit Jet" - in this case, you should act strictly in accordance with the instructions on the packaging.
