This fungus affects cucumbers, although melon<\/a> and gherkin<\/a> are also susceptible. Young plants lag behind in growth and wilt because water absorption is disrupted. The roots are underdeveloped and turn black due to the formation of fungal spores.
\nSymptoms may resemble those of Fusarium rot and Verticillium spp.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Where to find” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}”][vc_column_text el_id=”entrytxt” el_class=”entrytxt” css=”.vc_custom_1705240096957{padding-left: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
