“…The exact origin of clubroot disease is unknown, however, it is believed that the pathogen traveled from Europe to other parts of the world by means of infected plants used as animal fodder ( Gibbs, 1931 ). Clubroot disease is a global problem, it is reported to be distributed in more than 88 countries and can result in a 10–100% reduction in yield ( Saharan et al, 2021 ). In some countries, this disease is widespread and significantly affects yield losses ( Table 2 ).…”

“…Under dry conditions, severe galling can inhibit water uptake from the soil and cause wilting. In severely infected areas the whole crop can fail ( Saharan et al, 2021 ).…”

“…As a soilborne pathogen, P. brassicae presents abundant challenges to agriculturists and biological scientists due to its complex lifecycle ( Saharan et al, 2021 ). The pathogen is obligate, intracellular, non-axenic, microscopic, single-celled, and soilborne with dormant, well-protected resting spores.…”

“…It uses temperature and moisture content data but requires further refinement to include various other soil parameters, e.g., nutrient content presences of alternative host species, P. brassicae pathotypes, crop cultivar and geographical region to be an effective tool to control clubroot disease. A major hinderance in developing forecast tools is the lack of previous data, farmers are often aware of the factors that influence clubroot disease but most of them fail to record these ( Saharan et al, 2021 ). Further development of geographic specific modeling tools is required to effectively control clubroot disease in brassicas.…”

“…Among them, the most efficient and widely used chemical is mercurous chloride (Calomel™). However, it has been withdrawn from the market due to its mercury toxicity and persistence in the environment for long periods ( Saharan et al, 2021 ). Currently, the most used chemicals to control clubroot disease are benzimidazoles and their precursors.…”

The current status, challenges, and future perspectives for managing diseases of brassicas

The Brassica genus comprises the greatest diversity of agriculturally important crops. Several species from this genus are grown as vegetable and oil crops for food, animal feed and industrial purposes. In particular, B. oleracea has been extensively bred to give rise to several familiar vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale and Brussels Sprouts, etc.) that are grouped under seven major cultivars. In 2020, 96.4 million tonnes of vegetable brassicas were produced globally with a 10.6% increase over the past decade. Yet, like other crops, the production of brassicas is challenged by diseases among which, black rot, clubroot, downy mildew and turnip yellows virus have been identified by growers as the most damaging to UK production. In some cases, yield losses can reach 90% depending upon the geographic location of cultivation. This review aims to provide an overview of the key diseases of brassicas and their management practices, with respect to the biology and lifecycle of the causal pathogens. In addition, the existing controls on the market as well as those that are currently in the research and development phases were critically reviewed. There is not one specific control method that is effective against all the diseases. Generally, cultural practices prevent disease rather than reduce or eliminate disease. Chemical controls are limited, have broad-spectrum activity, are damaging to the environment and are rapidly becoming ineffective due to the evolution of resistance mechanisms by the pathogens. It is therefore important to develop integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that are tailored to geographic locations. Several knowledge gaps have been identified and listed in this review along with the future recommendations to control these four major diseases of brassicas. As such, this review paper will act as a guide to sustainably tackle pre-harvest diseases in Brassica crops to reduce food loss.
