Can your treat the soil for blackleg?

Blackleg is primarily a disease affecting crops, particularly canola, caused by the pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans. While soil treatment is not a direct method for controlling blackleg, practices such as crop rotation, proper field drainage, and the use of resistant plant varieties can help manage its spread. Additionally, applying fungicides at the appropriate growth stages might be beneficial. Soil health management can also contribute to overall crop resilience against diseases like blackleg.
