A disease caused by Xanthomonas malvacearum which is prevalent in all cotton producing areas. It is characterized by small, circular, or angular, translucent, water-soaked spots on the leaves which darken to brown or black. It may result in the shedding of leaves, the shedding of bolls, stem blight, boll rot, and a reduction of the lint grade due to stains. The damage over the whole U. S. is from one to two percent of the total crop. 2, record 7, English, - bacterial%20blight%20of%20cotton
