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 Pyola®;
start applications at 5- to 7-day intervals as soon as plants are
aboveground or as necessary to control beetles. Or grow vines under Super-Light
Insect Barriers; remove covers for pollination; resume spraying
while cover is off.
