Problems with sweet basil

Hi All,

I am new to these forums, and have been having some success with growing sweet Basil from seed.

All goes well until the leaves seem to develop this mould and they die

Can anyone advise as to what this might be, and how i can cure it?

Many thanks in advance

 

Are you growing the sweet basil in or outdoors? Outdoors they will obviously be much more vulnerable to viruses and disease. The plants may be affected by grey mold, which is spread by a vector known as Botrytis cinerea: Botrytis cinerea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I found some posts on another website describing similar problems to yours and how they may be countered: My basil plant has mold underneath the leaves? - UBC Botanical Garden Forums

 

I am not sure that plants outdoors are more susceptible to diseases...not my experience,at least as far as basil is concerned.

 

Cant see any pics as I'm not into facebook.
