List of Plants Susceptible, Immune, and Resistant to Verticillium Wilt
Verticillium wilt is fungal disease affecting over 350 host plants found throughout the world. It's caused by the soil-dwelling Verticillium dahliae and Verticillium albo-atrum. This fungus grows into plant roots and stems, depriving plants of necessary nutrients for proper growth and clogging plants' water transport systems. It's is most active in cooler weather but may also affect plants in warmer weather due to previous damage.
