Resumo: | Fusarium semitectum was found to be the major seed colonizing fungus in the commercial acid delinted cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) seed lots. There was no correlation, however, between its incidence and seedling emergence and disease symptoms on the emerged seedlings in autoclaved sand. Inoculation technique simulating internally seedborne nature of the fungus showed that the observed non-correlation might be related to the threshold level of seed coat colonization. The internally seedborne inoculum besides reducing seedling emergence, incited an array of symptoms on the emerged seedlings, which ranged from negative geotropism, leaf tearing, collar rot leading to dry root rot and seedling mortality. The dry root rot continued to develop on the plants surviving the seedling phase. The collar rot symptoms can be confused with those caused by Rhizoctonia solani.
