Bitter Melon root rots
12 years ago
Hi
Something is killing my bitter melons
The leaves of the plant started to wilt like it was lack of water. Then few days later, it died and I noticed the crown of stem was dried out.
Below pic shows root of plant that showed early sign of diesease as I saw leaves started to wilt and I pulled the plant to see what happened.
Seems like the roots started to dried out/rot and worked it's way up the stem, cutting off water and nutrients to the plant
Can someone please advise what is causing this? is there any treatment I can use to save the remaining plants?
Thanks in advance
