Verticillium wilt of cotton

12/09/2019Posted on

 

  • Plants infected at early stages are severely stunted.
  • The first symptoms can be seen as bronzing of veins.
  • It is followed by interveinal chlorosis and yellowing of leaves.
  • Finally, the leaves begin to dry, giving a scorched appearance.
  • At this stage, the characteristic diagnostic feature is the drying of the leaf margins and areas between veins, which gives a “Tigerstripe” or “Tiger claw” appearance.
