Lettuce plants breaking off at base

QuestionsLettuce plants breaking off at base
Ann Baskett Staff asked 14 years ago

Lettuce plants growing nicely then recently at least four have ‘flopped’ and ‘wilted’ . When lifting off the leaves no roots attached just as though they have broken off at base. One plant looked perfectly healthy yesterday morning and by late afternoon it had ‘flopped’. Slug bait all around, even egg shells as well. Have never had this problem before. Any suggestions as to what can be happening.
