Abstract: Field experiments were carried out to determine a suitable method for controlling clubroot of cabbages in Pukekohe. Control methods were evaluated by their efficacy both in reducing clubbing and in increasing yields. The best control was achieved by dipping the roots in a calomel slurry so that 0.05% g calomel was applied per plant. PCNB (0.1 g per plant) and captan (0.1 g per plant) applied in the transplant water both gave good control. The effect of soil‐moisture on loss of yield caused by the disease was evaluated and a control measure which involves increasing the soil moisture during the growing season to a constant high level is suggested.
