I knew I shouldn't have opened my mouth to soon, but I went out to close my hoop house for the evening and noticed the 1071 wilting real bad. I knew it wasn't from any heat because the sun hasnt been out all day. I checked around the base of the 1071 and found seed corn maggots has eaten it almost in half.
The combination of the compost/manure, cold and dampness we been having the last couple days makes this a feeding ground for them little maggots.
I did apply merit two days ago to the seedling but apparently the maggots where all ready in the stem, I didnt apply the merit soon enough before these maggots could take over.
Looks like the skinny 1502 Wallace seedling is getting in sooner then I thought, its getting the call off the bench to take its place!
