Default damping off debacle!!

hello,
firstly by "damping off", i have understood this to be the situation where
the stalk of the seedling withers away at the base, & then it falls over &
dies. (if this ISN'T damping off, can someone let me know what it is? ;-)

while i am used to this happening very occasionally (the odd seedling here &
there amongst unaffected seedlings), in the last few days i have lost
punnets & punnets of veg & flower babies, all at once.


Could be snails or nematodes.
