Description

This report is an economic assessment of the potential impact to Alberta farmers if Clubroot continues to spread. Three scenarios are developed: a baseline scenario that assumes Clubroot does not become an issue, and two scenarios that model potential Clubroot outbreaks due to shorter rotations. These two scenarios assume that over a 12 year crop rotation, the disease gradually develops until it reaches levels that reduce canola yields by 35% and 75%, respectively. The net economic impact could vary from $16 to $76 per acre during the mid and late stages of the 12 year rotation. The one-in-two year rotation has a significantly higher economic loss, assuming the disease prevalence assumption is realized.
