Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Bulk density generally did not affect cotton seedling growth or disease under well-watered conditions.
- Intervention effect Combined M. incognita and T. basicola reduced cotton seedling stands more than either pathogen alone.
- Intervention effect Combined pathogens reduced cotton root volume more than either alone.
- Intervention effect M. incognita reduced cotton root topological characters.
- Intervention effect T. basicola reduced cotton root topological characters.
- Intervention effect Only M. incognita changed cotton root topological index.
- Intervention effect Subsoiling did not consistently affect early season cotton growth.
- Intervention effect Nematicide improved cotton seedling growth in 2010 and 2011.
- Intervention effect Telone II suppressed cotton root galling.
- Intervention effect Telone II suppressed M. incognita population in cotton.
- Intervention effect Neither subsoiling nor nematicide affected cotton development or root topology.
- Intervention effect M. incognita reduced cotton taproot length.
- Intervention effect M. incognita delayed cotton maturity.
- Intervention effect M. incognita reduced seed cotton yield.
- Method / resource Root topology offers a way to quantify changes from soilborne pathogens and soil physical factors.
