You must be reading an old book  ;)

Cheshunt compound was banned, a replacement here

Benomyl was withdrawn years ago and there are now no chemicals to treat clubroot. There are a few good tips on still growing brassicas here

My Percy Thrower's Encyclopedia of gardening, bought for me by my Grandfather xx years ago makes for interesting reading!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
