Symptoms:
Large vines
gradually wilt and die
(no yellowing of leaves);
young plants die rapidly.
Bacterial wilt is
spread by cucumber
beetles.
Solutions:
Remove and
destroy wilted plants.
To prevent, control
cucumber beetles by
using kaolin clay; start applications at 5- to 7-day
intervals as soon as plants are aboveground or as
necessary to control beetles. We recommend
Surround® At Home® Crop Protectant. Or grow vines under Super-Light Insect Barriers; remove covers for pollination; resume spraying while cover is off.
