About
Root rot are species of a soil-living fungi that infect plant roots causing plants to wilt and die. On plants lower leaves droop, turn yellow then brown and can tend to fall off. Upper leaves wilt, and sometimes the complete plant dies.
When transplanting, the roots of plants are damaged and the roots are susceptible to infection at the wound sites. Treatment of roots and soil surrounding them during transplanting will reduce the risk of root rot infections.
