I am doing research for a class on Verticillium wilt. It is not supposed to be fatal. The Fusarium wilt is. The V.wilt is the one that affects one side. The V.wilt infects the plants when the soil is moist and cool. F.wilt perfers it a little warmer. My sources are ohioline.osu.edu and Cornell Univ. fact sheets.
