- Association Severe Alternaria leaf spotting in cotton developed only on plants already showing potassium deficiency symptoms.
- Intervention effect Potassium fertilizer application delayed or reduced cotton defoliation.
- Intervention effect Significant cotton yield increases required both fertilizer and fungicide.
- Intervention effect Removing flowers prevented the development of potassium deficiency symptoms in cotton.
- Intervention effect Removing flowers prevented Alternaria leaf spot disease in cotton.
- Association Differences in cotton cultivar susceptibility to the disease were linked to their sensitivity to low available potassium.
