PAS 1 "Clean transplants and crop rotation help reduce disease problems. Seed beds should not have been in crucifers for 6 - 8 years or must be fumigated. If club root is a problem and fields are not available to rotate to, broadcast and disc in 1500 lb of hydrated lime per acre 2 to 3 days prior to transplanting if the soil pH is not over 7.5. This should not be done more than once every 3 years. Otherwise the soil pH should be over 6.5." https://ipm.ca.uky.edu/files/ipm11cab.pdf
