Find out more from Dr. Strelkov, as they discuss the newest clubroot findings from farmers’ fields and in the lab, including genomics research that could help with diagnosing pathotypes, in breeding resistant canola varieties, and with farmers figuring out which varieties to grow — recorded at CropConnect 2025.
