It looks like something has got a stranglehold on the lower part of your plant stems. (That reminds me of a song, but what doesn't)
In the old days potassium bicarbonate based products like Monterey Bi-Carb were quite popular for these problems. Mil-Stop may be the top dog of the potassium bicarbonate based product today. I do not recommend baking soda, sodium bicarbonate, as a substitute for potassium bicarbonate.
I personally use a combination of Actinovate and Mil-Stop to address lower stem problems like these.
You choices are many and there are many method to remedy this kind of problem.
