Report of the Cottonseed Treatment Committee for 1999

C. S. Rothrock and S. A. Winters


 
ABSTRACT

The 1999 National Cottonseed Treatment Program evaluated cotton seedling survival for a number of fungicide seed treatment combinations over diverse environmental conditions and levels and types of cotton seedling pathogens. Sixteen fungicide seed treatments were nominated by chemical industry representatives for evaluation in the 1999 National Cottonseed Treatment Program. A standard fungicide treatment, Vitavax-PCNB + Apron, and a nontreated control were included to assess efficacy of the nominations and seedling disease pressure. In addition, the fungicide treatments Apron or PCNB were included to aid in determining the importance of Pythium spp. or Rhizoctonia solani, respectively. Disease ratings and pathogen isolations for seedlings and soil populations of selected soilborne fungi were conducted by collecting seedlings and soil from the nontreated control plots at each location. Soil temperature and plant development data also were collected for sites for the 1999 National Cottonseed Treatment Program.
