Fusarium wilt symptoms can appear at any point in the production season. If it occurs at the seedling stage, the plants won’t make it to vines. Plants infected with the pathogen will die if the infection is severe enough. The plant can still produce fruit if the infection is weak. But when it begins using the energy necessary to produce fruit, the plant will likely decline and slowly die.
