What does everyone use? I had an issue with cucumber beetles to start, and that turned into Bacterial Wilt. I was wondering what everyone uses to control pests and bad bacteria/fungus. Feel free to email me @ [email protected]
I appreciate the input.

Organic options seem to be hard to find.
But if you’re okay with chemicals from what I’ve heard merit seems to be the best option.

Merit works well as a drench to catch stuff a spray misses but don't use all season, mites love it.
A pyrethroid i.e. biphenyl works well or plain pyrethrin (organic) will also work but needs to be sprayed more often.
