Bacterial Blight Reactions of Sixty-one Upland Cotton Cultivars
Melanie B. Bayles and Laval M. Verhalen
Pages: 40-51
Bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. malvacerarum, can be a serious disease in Upland cotton. Foliar symptoms include angular spots. Many cotton cultivars released in the USA are moderately to fully susceptible. Unless higher levels of resistance are incorporated into new cultivars, cotton remains vulnerable to bacterial blight.
