Cotton Root Rot

Cotton root rot is Phymatotrichum omnivorum. We heard of farmers in Arizona and California who plowed under cotton and planted olives with very poor results. I wouldn't plant on top of cotton. More commonly olives get Phytophthora root and crown rot if over-watered. It is not considered a huge problem.
