Mycorrhizal fungi colonize cotton roots and stimulate plant growth by absorbing minerals from the soil. These beneficial fungi can be adversely affected by metamsodium, a soil-applied general biocide frequently used for weed control in cotton. Although metam-sodium also kills diseasecausing fungi that reduce cotton stands, the advantages of pest control with metam-sodium must be weighed against added ferfilizer costs needed to offset the loss of mycorrhizae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
