GAME ON!!!
Found this little guy in my bucket trap this evening. I checked the trap this morning and it was empty so I can pinpoint its arrival to exactly today.
Tomorrow I will spray all the vines, leaf stalks, and the undersides of leaves. Then I will bury all the exposed vine grown up until now.
for the remainder of the season I will follow the following schedule:
1. every 2 days check new growth for eggs, spray new vine growth, and bury.
2. every 7 days spray the plant with 0.17 oz (5 ml) / gallon of bifenthrin. Usually spray .25 oz per gallon, but that is every 14 days, which is too long to wait between sprays since eggs hatch in 7-10. I think dropping the rate a bit should cover the more frequent sprayings and not cause any phytotoxicity problems.
