2. Fennel root rot

Root rot mainly harms plant roots, resulting in dead seedlings or rotten roots, which will cause plant death and affect yield when the disease is serious.

In the humid environment, a white mildew layer appeared on the surface of the rhizome, and the plant leaves withered and necrotic.
