End of July is the time I spend to clean up the main vine. Both plants had worn leaves trimmed, dirt dug away from around the mains, look around for any brown spots and treat with captain. this time last year I found a brown spot 5 feet behind my 1533 and within 2 weeks I had lost my main vine at that spot. That fruit grew on 2 secondaries directly behind the fruit and only five feet of main vine. Pythium set in early last year so I started a rotation to combat this as soon as the plants went in the ground. I asked my buddy that owns the nursery where I grow if they deal with this disease,,,,,,,, he said all the time,,,,, lol ughh!!!! Fusarium at the last patch pythium here,,,, what’s next. Either way,,, with the amount of water and the way we push these things disease its always right around the corner come mid summer. The best thing I have found is chemicals and biologicals weekly to keep things in check. I’ll post 30 and 20 day numbers this weekend.
