Verticillium Wilt
Disease

Verticillium Wilt

Identification

Infected leaves will have yellow, V-shaped areas extending from the edge of the leaf. These areas spread, and the leaves turn from yellow to brown, then die. Fruits can become sun-damaged due to the loss of leaves caused by verticillium wilt.

Damage prevention

Plant resistant varieties. Rotate at-risk crops with crops that are not at risk for verticillium wilt.

Physical control

Once the fungus is established in a planting area, it cannot be destroyed or removed.

Chemical control

There are no fungicides which effectively prevent or control verticillium wilt.
