Sometimes, even if the roots are perfectly white, there can still be a fungal infection present.

This can be due to wet soil, or soil that never has a chance to dry out, completely, down to at least 2 or 3 inches. This can be taken care of with a fungicide. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm [1]
