Abstract
Reddening of cotton crop foliage is a physiological disorder induced by different abiotic stresses, a major problem in cotton growing regions of the country. This disorder has major effect on normal growth and development of crop. Recently, this has emerged as a serious problem in the various cotton growing areas. In India, leaf reddening was identified long ago but it has spread widely as a major disease only after cultivation of hybrids of BT-cotton. However it’s very important to diagnose the problem and manage accordingly to harvest better yields.
