Description: Large vines gradually wilt and die (no yellowing
of leaves); young plants die rapidly. Bacterial wilt
is spread by cucumber beetles.
Remove and destroy wilted plants. To prevent, use PyolaTM Insecticidal
Spray; start applications as soon as plants are
above ground, at 5 to 7 day intervals, or as necessary
to control cucumber beetles. Or grow vines under Super-Light Insect Barriers; remove covers
for pollination; resume spraying while cover is off.
