Cotton stalk management and a cover crop produce minimal effects on cotton leafroll dwarf virus

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract In 2017, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) was first reported in the United States. One CLRDV inoculum source includes the previous year's cotton stalks; hence, destroying cotton stalks could be effective for CLRDV management.
