SUMMARY Collections of Capsella bursa‐pastoris and other common cruciferous weeds showed significant differences in susceptibility to populations of Plasmodiophora brassicae as defined on the European Clubroot Differential (ECD) set. Some evidence was obtained that selection for tolerance may occur within natural populations of C. bursa‐pastoris. Overall virulence of P. brassicae collections on the ECD set was not correlated with virulence to the weeds tested. The significance of wild hosts in studies of resistance to P. brassicae is discussed.
