Phytophtora blight
Infections often start as root and crown rots. Water Soaked, dark brown lesions first appear on the lower parts of the stem, and extend upward to girdle the stem and block upward movement of water and nutrients . Girdled stems result in a sudden wilting of foliage, often without yellowing of the leaves. Affected plants progressively decline and die. Fine, white, thread-like growth of the pathogen on affected stems and fruit may be evident under wet conditions . Fruit lesions appear as enlarging, water soaked areas without clear margins. Infected fruit shrivel and rot.
