Coker 100 Wilt is 
Balanced, Wilt Resistant 
Fusarium wilt occurs throughout the Cotton Belt 
from east central Texas and Oklahoma to the Atlantic 
Seaboard and is particularly severe in the lighter phases 
of Coastal Plain soils. Plants affected with this disease 
become stunted due to shortened joints, and leaves be- 
come yellow and eventually drop as the disease ad- 
vances. Coker 100 Wilt is highly resistant to Fusarium 
wilt. 
At the same time, Coker 100 Wilt combines wilt 
resistance with high yields, excellent fiber quality, 
premium staple, earliness, satisfactory gin turn-out, 
fiber strength, good milling qualities, storm proofness 
and adaptation to mechanical harvesting. These char- 
acteristics, plus its wide adaptation, result in its being 
a well-balanced cotton capable of superior performance 
in both wilt and non-wilt soils in most parts of the 
cotton belt. 
For year-round, year in and year out performance 
and dependability under Southern growing conditions, 
Coker 100 Wilt has no superior. 
IMPORTANT NOTE 
Our Coker 100 Wilt Resistant Cotton has been bred to 
produce maximum yields on soils infested with Fusarium 
wilt, and it has some tolerance to Verticillium wilt. However, 
due to the development of new races of wilt, complicated by 
adverse seasonal conditions, improper fertilization and cul- 
tural practices, and the presence in most instances of 
nematodes, no conscientious breeder can guarantee any wilt 
resistant cotton to survive 100 per cent on any wilt infested 
soils. 
BELOW—Mr. J. W. Trunnell of Bleckley County, Ga., won the 1953 
state prize in Georgia’s Five-Acre Cotton Contest with this field 
of Coker 100 Wilt. His production record was 19,627 pounds of seed 
cotton on five acres or approximately 3 bales per acre. This was the 
second time Mr. Trunnell, left, shown with Mrs. Trunnell, had 
won Georgia’s state prize with Coker 100 Wilt. Indicating the storm 
resistance of Coker 100 Wilt, this picture was taken a few days 
after a September hurricane had swept across it.
