Symptoms
Pythium stalk rot commonly becomes apparent when the plant suddenly falls over. Infection usually involves a single internode near the soil line. Diseased areas are dark brown, water-soaked, soft, and collapsed. The stalks may be twisted and distorted. Infected plants remain green and turgid for a short time after collapse because the vascular bundles remain intact.
