The period of susceptibility of potato tubers to powdery scab (Spongospora subterranea) was studied by inoculating potato plants with spores, or by watering plants in infested soil, at different stages of plant development in greenhouse conditions. Maximum susceptibility began about 1 week before the stage when 50% of stolons had swollen to at least 5-mm diameter (tuber set), and ended 3-4 weeks later. With holding irrigation water during this period reduced the severity of powdery scab by 65-75% in field experiments in 1981-82 and 1982-83, but had no apparent effect on disease severity in 3 out of 6 large-scale field trials during 1984-85.

Field trials were carried out to test the effect of phosphonate fungicide (AG3) on the severity of clubroot of bok choy (Brassica rapa var. chinensis) and cabbage (B. rapa var. perkinensis and B. oleracea var. capitata) in commercial Ontario muck fields with a clubroot history. Disease severity also was examined in the same infested soil under greenhouse and microplot conditions. In microplot trials with bok choy, AG3 phosphonate concentrations of 0.07 and 0.14% a.i. applied before or after planting consistently reduced clubroot severity (1-to-4 rating) by 0.8 to 1.6 when planted in May or June. However, only the 0.14% a.i. preplanting treatment was effective in trials in July and August. Postplanting drenches of 0.14% a.i. were consistently effective throughout the season. Fresh weight of bok choy was increased or not affected by phosphonate treatments. Under field conditions, one (0.07, 0.14, and 0.21% a.i.) or two (0.07% a.i.) postplant-ing drench applications of phosphonate significantly reduced the incidence of clubroot by 52 to 87% and severity by 1.7 to 2.5 on bok choy in 2004 but not in 2005. In the 2004 trial, two applications of 0.07% a.i. AG3 phosphonate reduced the severity of clubroot comparably to single applications at 0.14 and 0.21% a.i. rates. Fresh weight of bok choy was increased by 34 to 86% with all phosphonate drench treatments in both years. With cabbage, AG3 postplanting drench treatments consistently reduced the severity of clubroot (1-to-5 rating) by a range of 0.7 to 3.3 under greenhouse, microplot, and field conditions. In the greenhouse, a single drench application of 0.07 and 0.14% a.i. AG3 phosphonate 1 day after transplanting cabbage seedlings to the infested muck soil reduced clubroot severity by 2.6 to 3.3 and increased fresh weight of cabbage tops by 66 to 69%. Similar results were seen with cabbage trials under both microplot and field conditions at all AG3 postplanting drench concentrations.

Spongospora subterranea is a soilborne plasmodiophorid that causes powdery scab in potato. It also transmits potato mop-top virus (PMTV), which causes necrotic arcs (spraing) in potato tubers. Three field experiments were conducted in naturally S. subterranea-infested soil to investigate the effects of two chemicals, Omega 500F (fluazinam) and FOLI-R-PLUS RIDEZ (biological extract), on powdery scab, PMTV, and changes in S. subterranea inoculum with six different potato cultivars. The efficacy of soil treatment with these two chemicals on tuber lesions, root galling, and pathogen population was also assessed in greenhouse trials. The chemical treatments did not reduce powdery scab, root gall formation, or S. subterranea inoculum in the field or greenhouse trials. Postharvest S. subterranea soil inoculum in fields varied across farms and among potato cultivars but the pathogen population consistently increased by the end of the growing season. The evaluated russet cultivars were more tolerant to powdery scab than the yellow- or red-skinned cultivars but all were susceptible to PMTV. In the field, powdery scab indices and soil inoculum changes were positively correlated, while postharvest S. subterranea inoculum was positively correlated with root galling in both greenhouse trials. Powdery scab and PMTV occurred in noninoculated potting mix, indicating that peat-based potting mix is a source for both pathogens. These results demonstrate that chemical management methods currently used by farmers are ineffective, that S. subterranea and PMTV in potting mix can cause severe epidemics in greenhouses, and that potato cultivar choices impact inoculum increases in soil.
