I deal with it every year to one degree or another. It seems to be worse when it is hot and wet with young plants being more susceptible. Another thing that can wilt a plant like that with the leaves still green is nematodes so you might want to check the roots. I have more of a problem with fusarium wilt which causes a distinct yellowing to many of the leaves before the whole plant wilts.
