Cultural control of Root Rot of Cotton

• Intercrop with moth bean.
• Grow resistant variety.
• Deep ploughing.
• Avoid mono-cropping and cultivation of cucurbitaceous and solanaceous crops, in adjoining fields.
• Fields having long history of disease should be avoided for sowing. 
• Field should be deeply ploughed and left for solarization.
• Early sowing and harvesting is recommended to avoid extreme temperatures. Sowing in April or June instead of May reduces disease incidence.
• Crop should be rotated. Intercropping using Vigna acontifolia reduces the incidence quite significantly.
