We had a secondary vine on the 1493 Witter-Benson with a hugt blowout near the stump. It would flag quickly in the heat of the day, so we gave it extra water. Our hope was that the vine roots would pick up the water. But the leaves started yellowing like we would see when we got the root rot in the past. So instead of risking the entire plant, I cut off the weak vine. It will get a foliar treatment of Companion and Agri Fos tomorrow and a drench of those the next time we water. We had a good over-night soaker starting Saturday 10 PM and lasting until 9AM Sunday, so it will be a few days before we have to water again.
