He got me!!!But I got Him!!!!
4 days ago while inspecting vines I noticed a hole in the mainvine of the 993.2 plant it was a good 4ft past the set pumpkin. I "fished" my finger into the hole and felt a "Squish"? 2 days later I noticed the leaves of the secondarys and mainvine past the hole where starting to look a little yellow? That night I foliar sprayed a mixture of 4 oz. Bayer Tree and Shrub to 2 gallons of water. I then turn the sprinklers on for about 20 minutes to get it washed off the leaves and down to the tap roots of the secondaries and mainvine. 2 days later while inspecting the hole I found this "very sickly" barely alive SVB Larva wiggling back out of the entry hole.
HA!!GOTCHA!!!!!
Leaves already looking much better and the hole looks to be drying up?
