Fusarium Wilt
Fusarium Wilt is a plant disease caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum. It primarily affects various crops, including tomatoes, bananas, and cotton. The fungus invades the plant's vascular system, leading to wilting, yellowing leaves, and stunted growth. Infected plants often show symptoms during warm weather, making early detection crucial for management.
Control measures for Fusarium Wilt include crop rotation, using resistant plant varieties, and proper sanitation practices. Once a plant is infected, it is often difficult to treat, so prevention is key. Healthy soil and good cultural practices can help reduce the risk of this disease.
