"What is it?

Damping-off is a common problem in tomato plants where the soil is too
wet or has a high nitrogen level. This can be due to the watering
conditions you have imposed on your tomato plants in the vegetable
garden, or factors of weather such as damp days with many clouds.

What does it look like?

Tomato plants which are experiencing damping-off tend to have tomato
seeds which do not sprout at all, or tomato seedlings which develop
poorly and fall over soon after they have emerged from the soil. The
stems of the tomato plants will appear water-soaked at the soil line
and may be discolored in yellows, browns or blacks. Usually, a tomato
plant which is affected by damping-off with have a soft, thin stem
which is limp like a noodle which allows the plant to fall over
easily. "
