In the field, garden, or planter box, seedlings often fail to come up from the soil. Seeds may rot before they germinate, shoots may be decayed before they emerge, or stems of seedlings may be attacked near the soil line, causing young plants to collapse. These diseases often are collectively referred to as “damping-off,” and may be caused by a number of soil-inhabiting pathogens. Species of the soil organism Pythium are most often responsible for damping-off, but several other pathogens, including species of Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, and Phytophthora, can also cause decay. Decay is most likely to occur when old seeds or seed pieces are planted in cold, wet soil and is further increased by poor soil drainage, the use of green compost, and planting too deeply.
The first evidence of damping-off is the failure of some plants to emerge. If seeds are attacked before they germinate, they become soft and mushy; turn dark brown, and decay.
