Dear Sir

pls tell me if u are getting the symptoms such as rapid wilt and death in summer.
Dead and dying leaves attached to the plant or roots of dying or declining plants are rotted.
if these are the symtoms than its caused due to root rot.
U said the plants are wilting so are the leave s drooping off or are they attached to the plant itself.
