The highest level of disease incidence was recorded in cultivars 'BA-151', 'Celia', 'Cukurova-1518', 'FlaAY' and 'MaraAY 92', and averaged 85-95% for all genotypes in both years. The incidence of V. dahliae in seed averaged 29.8% for cv. Cukurova-1518, 27.6% for FlaAY, 24.6% for cv. BA-151, 19.0% for cv. Celia and 16.2% for MaraAY 92. Two hundred seeds from each genotype were planted, two seeds per pot, in a steam-pasteurized mixture of soil, peat, and sand. Pots were placed close to each other on a greenhouse bench to obtain a thick canopy. Typical disease symptoms appeared about 12-13 weeks after sowing. Maximum disease incidence values averaged 3.3% for Celia, 4.5% for MaraAY 92, 8% for BA-151, 9% for FlaAY and 9.5% for Cukurova-1518.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGossypium hirsutumSeed infectionSoilborne pathogenVascular wiltVerticillium dahliaeArticle10.1007/s12600-011-0163-73932852922-s2.0-79958819191Q2WOS:000291655800008Q3
