Black root rot results in the decay of root systems; however, the most obvious symptoms are observed on above-ground portions
of the plant. Foliar symptoms include
yellowing, wilting,
and necrosis (death) of foliage. Above-ground
foliar symptoms are the result of root decay; as a result, the reduced root system is unable to
take up sufficient water and nutrients to
support foliage and
stems. There is no cure for black root rot.
