It's All About Options When Choosing Varieties
Tommy Horton
Verticillium wilt is typically more serious in the northern High Plains, but is also problematic in the southern counties. However, the sandier soils tend to translate into root knot nematode and fusarium wilt problems in the southern area of the High Plains. Knowing about these problems should be a part of the decision-making process for farmers as they conduct their on-farm variety trials.
And how does verticillium wilt affect cotton yields and quality? Boman says it has a direct impact on micronaire. When the disease is at its worst, it can consistently trigger low micronaire.
"This problem is growing, and that's why we need to find some varieties that are more than just tolerant of verticillium wilt," says Boman.
