What is damping-off and how can I prevent it in seedlings?

Damping-off is a common fungal disease that affects seedlings, leading to rotting at the base of the stem. To prevent damping-off, use sterile potting mix, avoid overwatering, and ensure good air circulation around seedlings. Neem oil or chamomile tea can also be used as natural anti-fungal treatments.
