ABSTRACT

Based on the work by several cotton disease specialists and agronomists over the last 3 years, there may be economical benefits for growers to use Topsin M on cotton to reduce hardlock caused by Fusarium verticillioides and other diseases. Although hardlock was less severe in the 2003 season, positive yield and leaf area effects were observed in several efficacy trials using Topsin M fungicide. Enough positive results were seen from the last 2 years of research to keep Cerexagri very interested in pursing a federal registration for Topsin M on cotton.
