Resolution

WHEREAS clubroot is a soil borne pathogen that can be spread through the movement of contaminated soil, resulting in billions of dollars of potential financial losses to agricultural operations and the provincial economy;

BE IT RESOLVED that APAS call on producer associations, industry, and governments to mitigate the risk of clubroot contamination in Saskatchewan by providing investment in the following activities:

• Improved mapping and identification of clubroot contamination in the province
• Increased testing and surveying of fields and soils for clubroot
• The development of new clubroot resistance varieties of canola that have competitive agronomic traits
• The development of a province-wide approach to the regulation and reporting of clubroot, which includes all Rural Municipalities
