What is Fusarium?
Wilting and rot triggered by fungal pathogens are some of the most common diseases on a Cannabis farm. In many of these cases, fungi from the genus Fusarium are the culprit. Although oxysporum is the most common, researchers are finding other species in Cannabis as well. This pathogen appears to affect both indoor and outdoor farms equally. Fusarium often targets the root system of a Cannabis plant, releasing damaging mycotoxins that can kill plants and spread quickly. Once Fusarium shows itself in a Cannabis farm, it’s extremely difficult to eradicate. Prevention is paramount.

The symptoms plants express can depend on which type of Fusarium has infected a garden. Fusarium solani generally causes a plant’s roots to rot. Instead of bright white, happy roots, plants will exhibit tan or brown roots covered with slime.
- The leaves begin to fall and turn yellow.
- The roots and stems begin to wither, in extreme cases, they can reach rot.
- The plant takes longer to fully grow.
- Brownish areas along the main stem.
