Abstract

Under growth chamber conditions, the influence of soil moisture, soil pH, and liming sources on the germination, yield and infection of cabbage by Plasmodiophora brassicae Wor. was studied in artificially infested mineral and organic soils. Clubroot infection occurred at moisture levels as low as 9 and 60% in the mineral and organic soils, respectively. The growth of cabbage and the reduction of the incidence of clubroot were more dependent on liming source than on soil pH. Soil pH adjustment to effect complete clubroot control was invariably deleterious to cabbage growth. It was established for the organic soil that the effect of calcium hydroxide was important in correcting soil acidity as well as supplying calcium as an essential plant nutrient for cabbage. In addition, there was evidence that correction of the soil acidity favored clubroot development, but simultaneously the Ca ion had an inhibitory effect on the disease organism. On the mineral soil, Mg sources producing a soil pH not normally considered deleterious to plants affected the germination and ultimate yield of cabbage.
