Anthracnose in Cotton: Symptoms, Causes and Prevention Tips

Anthracnose is a fungal disease that affects cotton plants, causing lesions on leaves, stems, and bolls, leading to yield losses.

What is Anthracnose?

Look for dark, sunken lesions on stems, wilted leaves, and damaged bolls. These are the common signs of anthracnose in cotton crops.

Symptoms of Anthracnose

How It Spreads

Anthracnose spreads through infected seeds, rain splashes, and wind. High humidity and wet conditions make the infection worse.

Prevention Tip 1

Use certified disease-free seeds to prevent the introduction of anthracnose into your cotton fields.

Prevention Tip 2

Rotate cotton crops with non-host plants like corn to reduce the risk of anthracnose buildup in the soil.

Prevention Tip 3

Apply appropriate fungicides as recommended by agricultural experts to control the spread of anthracnose in cotton fields.

Conclusion

Preventing and managing anthracnose in cotton requires vigilance. By following these tips, you can protect your crops and boost yields.
