The cotton seedling disease complex involves the following fungal pathogens… g g p g

  • Pythium spp.

y pp

  • Rhizoctonia solani
  • Thielaviopsis basicola
  • Thielaviopsis basicola
  • Fusarium solani
  • Seed-borne fungi that are harmful to

germination (Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp.,

Rhi ) Rhizopus spp.)

slide-3
SLIDE 3

Pythium spp. Pythium spp.

  • Found in most soils
  • Invades under cold, wet field conditions
  • Attacks within hours of planting ( = seed rot )
slide-4

Rhizoctonia solani Rhizoctonia solani

  • Attacks young, emerging seedling

y g, g g g at the soil line causing “damping-

  • ff” of the seedling or “soreshin”.
  • Hypocotyl lesions are generally

reddish brown in color and k sunken

Fusarium solani Fusarium solani

  • This pathogen may be

associated with seed or associated with seed or found in soil. It attacks young roots deriving young roots, deriving nutrition from the plant.
