Research at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine on the effect of water on microorganisms associated with cotton demonstrated that water is a critical factor in bacterial growth. The experiment studied bacterial growth in cultures of liquid media, on cotton in solution, and on cotton maintained at a range of relative humidities. The cotton used in the experiment was autoclaved prior to inoculation with bacteria isolated from cotton. These laboratory studies served as adjuncts in the interpretation of field trials that involved spraying cotton. Water in the form of rain, dew, or spraying is important to the growth of microorganisms on field cotton. Some of these bacteria have characteristics that permit their survival for long periods of time on cotton. 18 refs.
