Don’t let clubroot take root.
Sustainability of the Canadian canola industry is as important to us as it is to you. Together, we can work together to minimize the impact of clubroot with an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy that includes:
- Extend canola rotation to a minimum of once every three years when possible
- Using sanitation and patch management to limit the movement of infected soil
- Control volunteer canola and other brassica weeds that can act as hosts for the disease
- Scouting to identify the presence of the disease
- Utilize clubroot-resistant genetics as part of an IPM strategy

Clubroot-resistant genetics from InVigor.
All InVigor clubroot-resistant hybrids have been developed to be resistant to the most predominant clubroot pathotypes found in Canada at the time of their registration.
InVigor L356PC, InVigor L340PC, InVigor L345PC, InVigor Choice LR344PC, InVigor L255PC, InVigor L241C and InVigor Health L258HPC share the same first-generation clubroot resistance profile. InVigor L343PC and InVigor L234PC have this resistance profile, plus they contain second-generation multigenic clubroot resistance to additional clubroot pathotypes to help combat evolving clubroot pathogens. We recommend growing InVigor L343PC or InVigor L234PC with second-generation clubroot resistance in clubroot-affected areas after two cycles of growing first-generation clubroot-resistant hybrids or when clubroot symptoms appear in first-generation clubroot-resistant hybrids.
Clubroot populations in the field can evolve or shift to new pathotypes that current resistant hybrids may be susceptible to. These new pathotypes may become dominant in the clubroot population if no additional integrated pest management approaches are taken and canola hybrids with similar resistance profiles are used repeatedly in the same field. To maximize the durability of genetic resistance in canola hybrids, use an integrated pest management strategy that includes extending rotations in areas where clubroot is a concern. We support the Canola Council of Canada’s agronomic recommendations when growing these InVigor hybrids.
Clubroot-resistant genetics decision tree.
InVigor has a number of clubroot-resistant options to choose from in this year’s lineup. However, not all hybrids should be deployed in the same way. Learn how to effectively select between first- and second-generation genetics by using our handy clubroot-resistant genetics decision tree.
