If it’s insect damage, the culprits could be either slugs (which feast at night) or vine borers (which hang out near the base of plants). These articles will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/facts-about-slugs-and-how-to-kill-garden-slugs.htm [1]

If it’s due to a fungus, neem oil may help. It’s also good for many insect pests as well. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm [4]
