Response of Texas Root Rot to a Soil Sterilant in Graham County, Part II, 1987

Abstract

Residual effects from methyl bromide applied in 1986 showed increased yields in 1987. Increases from 115 to 281 pounds of lint per acre were observed, depending on the rate applied in 1986. This residual effect increases the possibility that this soil sterilant will be a useful tool to combat Texas root rot. Differences were also noted between 1986 and 1987 applications.
