The only way to kill off clubroot according to Akhavan, is using chemicals for biosecurity measures, not something farmers want to use in their fields.
"Drought condition is harsh for plants but it doesn't seem to be harsh enough to impact clubroot resisting spores," he said. "(They're) very hard structures and they are not going to be easily impacted by the temperature that is harsh for the plant itself."
Most of the time the disease is found in entrances to fields or low laying areas in the field.
"The reason perhaps is just the equipment, machine area, and traffic," he said.
Akhavan said Saskatchewan's map of clubroot will be released in January.
