Clubroot specifically likes Brassicas (members of the cabbage family). This fungus is present in the soil and causes swelling and distortion of plant roots; then, it moves upwards and causes wilting, yellowing, and death. Clubroot enjoys an acidic soil, so if possible, raise the pH to above 6.8. Crop rotation is absolutely necessary to suppress the proliferation of the fungus present in soil.
