Stem Rot Disease


Several of the plants in 248 greenhouse are affected by stem rot disease.  The disease is fatal to the plants because once the plants gets it, they will die.  The bacteria grow in the stem to rot the stem, hence the name stem rot.  The disease is highly contagious, so it must be treated with care.  For instance, when removing the infected plants, we don't want to touch any other plants besides the infected ones, which may risk the epidemic of stem rot.
