A lot of chatter has been going on about "club root" since it is seed starting season, so I thought I would share this pic. I did some searching but wasn't able to find any pictures of it, so hopefully this is an accurate representation. It has been said that the club root talked about here is not the same as the disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae. The radicals formed 2 days after placing in paper towels but were barely showing, so we're left just a bit longer. After 4 days in towels, they looked like this. The tap roots have either died off forcing the branching or were stunted in some other way.
