Education and awareness of clubroot continue to be a priority to help growers and industry members prevent the further spread of the disease into and within Saskatchewan. The Ministry of Agriculture promotes biosecurity procedures and provide other helpful resources through different materials (available online), including disinfectant products and presentations to producers and the industry. Also, the Ministry of Agriculture is developing the Saskatchewan biosecurity guidelines that will guide industry to develop their own biosecurity protocols based on their activities on agricultural land.
