THE OCCURRENCE OF VIABLE COTTON ROOT-ROT SCLEROTIA IN NATURE.
Viable sclerotia of the cotton root-rot fungus, Phymatotrichum omnivorum, have been found under natural conditions in the soil of infested cotton fields in Texas, showing that this fungus is a soil organism not restricted to living roots of susceptible host plants, but having an independent means of over-wintering and dissemination.
