Rotating Crops Suggested To Fight Anthracnose Disease
Cotton growers are urged to rake and burn diseased stalks this fall to destroy the fungus causing anthracnose. Fields should not plant cotton for two to three years, as the disease is worse on areas that grew cotton last year while rotation with corn or potatoes shows less damage. Experts advocate careful seed selection and crop rotation based on field observations near Flovilla.
