Fusarium, botrytis, pythium, verticillium? What disease is this?
If you do know, what would be my best course of action to take care of said problem? Obviously I killed this one, am I going to be forced to do the same to the rest if they show any signs of this infection?
Noticed some random and unexplained leaf death on the lower parts of the plant. It starts out as yellowing then to brown dead matter. Looked closer and I saw the odd looking whitish lesion/canker wound on the stalk that formed a sort of ring. There was also what appeared to be a bit of black progressing upwards the stem.
I cut open the stalk and this is what I found:
The discoloring on the outside of the plant lines up exactly with where this blockage appears inside the stalk...
Here is what it looked like before I cut the stalk in half:
Thank you for any and all help.
