Our plot guru grows miles and miles of perfect brassicas on a plot with clubroot. He recommends growing the plants on until big and healthy enough to survive being attacked, plus a dusting of lime in each planting hole. His results speak for themselves.
the old boys on my site use decking preservative ( armillotox) ;) in the planting hole, and dip the roots in it before planting.

daitheplant, sorry to disagree with you but that is clubroot I can assure you. I used to be a Market Gardener and have many years experience what clubroot looks like. Again sorry to disagree

Club root causes the root to rot, that wikipedia image shows no sign of damage apart from the galls, which are caused by Turnip Gall Weevil. The 3 sypmtoms of Club Root are :- wilted/blue tinged foliage, a smell of rotten vegetation and finally, once dug up, a slimy mess where once was the root system.
