Lynn, if it is crown rot, other wise known as southern blight or mustard seed
fungus (check the Archives) you will probably see little spherical bodies on
the soil or clinging to the base of the fan. These tend to follow the cottony
or feathery mass that forms at the soil line.Sound familiar? Then run do not
walk to the farm supply store and get a container of Terraclor, which you
should apply as a drench at the rate of 2Tbs of powder per gallon, saturating
the base of the plants and all surrounding soil.
