Crap. Last night I sprayed everything with a Rotenone-Pyrethrins mix, the cucurbits and potatoes getting twice the dose as everything else. This afternoon I noticed the Pumpkins, Butternut squash and Cucumber are showing some slight signs of leaf burn, whitish splotches scattered here and there on the leaf surfaces. Interestingly the Watermelon and Potatoes were unscathed. I don’t know if the dose was too much or if the leaves didn’t dry enough before the sun came up on what was to be a sunny, 89°F day, or both. The splotches weren’t there when I checked on the plants around 1 A.M., over five hours after being sprayed; then again I don’t think they were entirely dry then.
