Is crown rot the same thing as bacterial soft rot?


Rick Ernst discussed all the 'rots' either in the AIS Bulletin 
or TALL TALK rather recently.

Crown rot is the most aggressive of the 'rots.'  It usually starts
where the fan is attached to the rhizome at the 'crown,' hence the name.
A nasty, smelly black mass appears at this juncture, and if treatment
is delayed, an entire bed or row can go almost overnight.  I think 'rot
is rot,' whatever you call it.  Suffice it to say that crown rot is not
the simple, every day garden variety of rot.  This rot is soft, so in one
sense, it is soft rot, but then again it isn't.

Some years ago plants with scorch, soft rot, and crown rot were sent
to Texas A & M University for analysis.  The results reported on all
three was that the plants had 'Southern Blight!'

of Terraclor in the Storefront.  That would save money and time lost 
in trying to find a dealer where you live).
