Cleaning to remove soil and plant debris & then disinfecting is the first step in sanitization to prevent the spread of clubroot. Bleach, at concentrations above 1.7%, will kill nearly 100% of the resting spores. @CanolaWatch has more details:

Target 5-8 canola plants per sq. ft. - the high end of this range means more plants for a fixed number of flea beetles. That means fewer beetles per plant, helping to keep leaf area loss below the threshold of approaching 25%. @CanolaWatch has more tips: https://t.co/GUncsseBTS
