Sharp knife or pruner as close to the main as is safely possib;le & let the area dry. (Sterilize blades in 10% Bleach if they were used on diseased plants first)

Light colored leaves near the base this time of year could be Powdery Mildew. If thses leaves are dry & lack reselienc, I would suspect PM or just plain old age.

If the plants are Nitrogen deficient, the leaves will appear lighter green & small but will still be soft & fresh.
