Some Canadian Exotic Grains customers compensated

The map shows positive clubroot findings by RMs, which have been highlighted to show the highest concentration of spores. This does not mean all fields in the RM have these concentrations. As spore concentrations can be highly variable within a field, the RM classification indicates only the maximum concentration found in any field in the RM. Further explanation on the concentration categories are as follows: RED = Symptoms observed: Clubroot symptoms have been observed in fields in this RM. Management to prevent continued buildup or spread of this pest should be implemented. ORANGE = 10,001 to 80,000 spores/gram soil: Spores have been found in fields in this RM at concentrations approaching levels known to cause field symptoms. Without management, concentrations may increase to where symptoms are visible. YELLOW = 1,001 to 10,000 spores/gram soil: Clubroot spores have been found in this RM at low to intermediate levels. With proper management, spore concentrations can decline. GREEN = zero to 1,000 spores/gram soil: Clubroot spores have not been detected, or detected at very low levels. At this concentration, clubroot is not a major concern, but fields should be monitored. Retesting is recommended within the next five years. It is generally reported that 100,000 spores/gram of soil are required to see symptoms under field conditions, but symptoms can still appear under favourable conditions. As less than 10 per cent of farms in Manitoba have been sampled, it is recommended that all fields be tested, regardless of RM classification.
