Symptoms:
In young melon, cucumber and
watermelon plants: damping-off, stem collapse
and death may occur. In older plants: yellowing,
stunting, wilting and death. The disease occurs
wherever cucurbits are grown.
Solutions:
Use a biofungicide as a soil drench on
newly sown seeds, transplants and established
plants. Do not allow soil to thoroughly dry out.
We recommend Root Guardian™
Biofungicide for Soilborne Diseases. Maintaining soil pH at
6.5 to 7.0 helps. Test soil pH; if it is too acid, use
Quik-Cal™ Pelletized Calcium
to raise pH.
