The goal of this study is to identify cotton cultivars for resistance as measured by disease severity and tolerance and by yield when challenged in Verticillium wilt fields. Cotton cultivars and lines were planted in commercial cotton fields naturally infested with V. dahlia in a strip plot design with four replications and at two locations. Rankings and yields will be presented
