Hi, I am trying my best to grow broccoli and hitting snags all the time, with cabbage worms, aphids, and just heat and other stuff. Recently i had a plant perfectly healthy that was standing fine and then the next day i come out it is laying on the ground. I looked at the stem and it was still connected but the bottom right in the soild was almost as thin as the roots of the plant so it can't support the weight. I'm 99% certain it is a cutworm problem as had a second plant with the same issue this morning. The only thing i'm struggling with is finding the cutworms and understanding why they didn't cut the plant stem clean off as in the photos shown typically for cutworms. Or do i have a completely different problem?
