Seven fungicides were evaluated as seed treatment for the control of seed rot and damping-off diseases of cotton cv. Deltapine 16. All treated and non-treated seeds were subjected to "flood test" by submerging than in water for 5 days in plastic tumblers before planting in the field. All the fungicides tested significantly increased germination, stand and yield of cotton plants. Percentage increase in stand at harvest ranged from 4.5 to 68.3% while the yield increase ranged from 20.9 to 68.9% as compared with the control. In terms of yield, the best treatments were Vitavax-thiram and zincofol which gave 68.9 and 68.0% yield increase, respectively. These were followed by treatments of Vitarax-captan, Howai, captan, Brassicol and Difolatan
