ABSTRACTINFLUENCE OF pH, TEMPERATURE, AND BIOFUNGICIDES ONCLUBROOT OF CANOLAHema KasinathanUniversity of Guelph, 2012Advisors:Dr. Mary Ruth McDonaldDr. Bruce D. GossenManagement of clubroot caused by the soil-borne biotrophic plant protistPlasmodiophora brassicae on canola and other Brassica crops is an important challengeto producers. Studies on the interaction of pH and temperature on root hair infection(RHI) and clubroot symptom development in canola roots revealed that high levels ofclubroot can occur under optimum temperature, moisture and spore load, even at alkalinepH of 7.5. Clubroot was suppressed at all temperatures at pH 8.0, but not totallyeliminated. The occurrence of maximum levels of root hair infection and clubrootdevelopment (RHI = 61%, Clubroot incidence (CI) & Disease severity index (DSI) =100%) at temperatures of 20° and 25°C and pH of 5.0 to 6.5 was confirmed. The efficacyof biofungicides against P. brassicae was influenced by pathogen load, host, growthmedia and its properties. Drench application of Serenade and Prestop were moderatelyeffective in reducing clubroot levels in canola (Brassica napus L. and B. rapa L.) and to alesser extent in Shanghai pak choy (B. rapa L. ssp. Chinensis (Rupr.) var. communis Tsen
and Lee). The mean clubroot incidence and severity caused by Pathotype 3 was found tobe slightly higher than that of Pathotype 6. Clubroot level increased with increase in soilbulk density.
