Swede and clubroot?

With my newly discovered clubroot, will it mean my swedes have no chance?

I struggle with my club root when it comes to swede.

If I get half a dozen out of a 32' row, I'm ecstatic.

I've tried direct sown and modules. Seems to make no difference for me.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

So what will happen to them, the root doesn't develop? I sowed these in modules in May/June and they are growing nice leafy tops. When will i know if they'll be any good or not. Its my first time growing swede.

I get the tops, but no roots as you say.

The club root doesn't seem to be as visually evident as in other brassicas, but the roots don't seem to develop.
