Yesterday I noticed this plant (490 Cantrell) needs a bit of nitrogen. The first set is only 3 days old. Reluctantly I added a bit of N. No change today. "Light bulb" Willing to wager I'll be pulling it by tomorrow. I'll wait to see if it truly is yellow vine decline. I was concerned about this that's why I included several in the genetics test. On a side note, this is the first year since 2009 that I have buried vines. Been finding a bunch of the squash bugs just under the vines where they need to be buried. When you pinch their heads you don't have to worry if the spray is too strong. They have been relentless this year. All I can figure is they are migrating in on the wind. Not seeing hardly any eggs and NO juveniles.
