Severe and Widespread Clubroot Epidemics in Nepal

Cultivation of brassica vegetables has the highest potential for generating income among more traditional rice and maize farmers in Nepal. Among brassica vegetables, the most important are cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) and cabbage (B. oleracea var. capitata L.). Although clubroot...

520 |a Cultivation of brassica vegetables has the highest potential for generating income among more traditional rice and maize farmers in Nepal. Among brassica vegetables, the most important are cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) and cabbage (B. oleracea var. capitata L.). Although clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, has been observed in Nepal since 1993, severe and widespread epidemics have been observed since 2004 in the Bhaktapur, Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Palung Valley production areas. Typical disease symptoms (1) are widespread, and disease severity has been particularly severe in the Kathmandu Valley and Palung/Daman area of the Makwanpur District. Many cauliflower fields in these areas have had as much as 100% yield loss between 2004 and 2006 with an estimated 40% overall loss from clubroot. Estimates from interviews with growers in the Palung production area during an intensive farmers' interaction program indicated that cauliflower production was reduced from 5 to 6 metric tons per household (1,500 m2) prior to 2004 to <300 kg per household in 2004 and beyond. The economic loss in this area alone was estimated at $1.4 million in 2004 and 2005. Examination of transplant nurseries indicated that frequently >80% of the seedlings have symptoms of clubroot at the time of transplanting. Soil samples from throughout the production areas indicated that the sandy loam soils were predominately acidic (pH range of 4.2 to 7.2 with >90% below 6.0). Several management practices are being employed to reduce disease severity, including the use of clubroot resistant cultivars, raising the soil pH to >7.0 by using dolomitic lime, testing of the fungicide flusulfamide (Nebijin) and biopesticide Sanjeevani (Trichoderma viride), and biofumigation and solarization of the nursery beds in an effort to reduce disease pressure on transplant material.
