Stem Rot (Southern Blight)

Jun 02, 2012 1 Replies

I'm wondering how to get rid of 'southern Blight' or Stem Rot.


I'm trying to grow some tomato plants in pots, and have noticed that there is a white 'fluff' on the stem of one of them. The bottom leaves have begun turning yellow, and look wilted. (This happened to my chilli plant too, I don't know if it's related?)


What can I do about it, if anything?



I understand that it is caused by damp conditions. (It's rainy season here, so I presume that could be a factor).


Any advice would be appreciated.



Thanks.


Does it look anything like this?
