Non-chemical Control of Cotton Seedling Damping-off in the Field

We conducted four field trials in April 1995 and 1996 in Arizona to compare the effectiveness of the following treatments to reduce cotton seedling damping-off incidence: 1) a soil drench of an isolate of the bacterium, Burkholderia cepacia (DI), recovered by us from cotton plants; 2) isolate D1 barley meal formulation; 3) Deny® seed treatment (a peat moss -based formulation of another isolate of B. cepacia, CCT Corp. Carlsbad, California); 4) Deny® soil drench; 5) Kodiak® seed treatment (a formulation of the bacterium, Bacillus subtilis, Gustafson Inc., Dallas, Texas); 6) a mixture of three fungicides Metalaxyl, Triadimenol, and Thiram seed treatment; and 7) a mixture of Metalaxyl, Triadimenol, Thiram, and Kodiak® seed treatment. Except for DI, the other products are being marketed for the control of cotton seedling damping-off Only DI soil drench and a mixture of the three fungicides seed treatment increased cotton stand significantly (P ≤ 0.05) in three of four field trials.
