1992 REGIONAL COTTON FUSARIUM WILT REPORT
Kathryn 
M. Glass
2
Cotton cultivars and elite breeding lines submitted 
by
20 cooperators were evaluated for fusarium wilt 
resistance
under field conditions at the E. V. Smith Research 
Center,
Shorter, Alabama. These entries were 
grown on an
Independence loamy fine sand highly 
infested with both the
fusarium wilt fungus (Fusarium oxysporum) 
Schlect. f.
vasinfectum [Atk.] (Snyd. & Hans.) and root-knot 
nematodes
(Meloidogyne spp.).
Plots were 40-inch-wide bedded rows, 30 feet in length,
separated by 6-foot alleys. Four replications of the 
test
entries and checks, arranged in a block design, 
were
evaluated. Both susceptible (Rowden) and resistant 
(Auburn
56) cultivars were included as checks. Auburn 56 
was
developed at Auburn and released in 1953. It was 
used as
the resistant check in the Regional Fusarium 
Wilt Test for
many years. However, it was replaced when 
it was no longer
grown commercially. Auburn 56 is again being used 
as the
resistant check because, although obsolete, it 
is the most
consistently resistant cultivar available. Rowden 
was
planted in row 5 and every tenth row thereafter 
(15,

Station, Auburn University, Alabama.

25,...,225) and Auburn 56 in row 10 and every tenth row
thereafter (20, 30,...,220) throughout the test. Plots were
planted May 14. Initial plant counts were made on June 18.
Wilted plants were counted and removed on July 15, August 3,
August 17, and August 24. The remaining live plants were
also counted and recorded on August 24. Percent wilted
plants were then determined and mean wilting for a given
entry calculated.
Average wilting of the susceptible Rowden was 69, 59,
56, and 68 percent for the four replications (63 percent
average). Corresponding wilt percentages for the resistant
check, Auburn 56, were 13, 14, 10, and 11 (12 percent
average). Critical evaluation of a given entry should be
made relative to the checks closest to the entry within each
replication. Evaluation of breeding process or evaluation
of entries over years should be made only between the
relative value of this entry and that of the closest
susceptible check rows for each year.
Entries submitted by W. C. Johnson are commonly grown
cultivars or advanced commercial materials and are listed by
name. Entries submitted by other cooperators are listed by
their coded numbers. Additional information regarding the
genetic background of a specific coded entry should be
obtained from the named cooperator.
