What causes plants to die?
A. There can be a number of reasons for this. First, you must eliminate the obvious elements that could be causing death, like lack of water or high temperatures. Root diseases like pythium are quite common and can cause sudden death of plants as well as low yields and a complete collapse. Microbial cleansers have been proven very useful in the treatment of root zone problems. As a preventative measure, the risks can be reduced by way of friendly bacteria, which break down the dead root matter and convert it into useable compounds that the plant can absorb.
