I've got a couple plants getting yellow leafs on them, has anyone seen this? I think I'm going to pull one of them and send off for a tissue sample.

I'd send a sample to the state lab ASAP then you'll know for sure. If you contact them they will tell you what they need.

Had die back similar to that last year, it was melon aphids.

Not sure what it is. I sprayed with Total, it's supposed to be good for spider mites and aphids. I'm not saying that isn't what got them, because I'm not sure what I'd be looking for. I don't see the plants making it. I tried to call A&L yesterday, but they were already closed, I'll call as soon as they open this morning, to get a tissue sample sent off. I will definitely be spraying insecticide on a more regular basis. I had slacked off after drenching with Bayer at the first of July

I lost a couple in 2010 that I feel quite sure was YVD but I didn't have them tested. No others went down. Keep in mind Bayer T&S does not work on squash bugs.

The local guy from the Ag extension office is supposed to come by this afternoon. We'll try the distance diagnosis through the state office. i contacted A&L, and they put me through to Soil and Plant Lab in California, their $117 fee was more than I can pay for testing, so we'll see how this works out.

alternia leaf spot is what they are saying, I'm not in total agreement, because the images I see for that, don't look like my plants. I won't get to go by the office until tomorrow, but I'm going then to let them show me more.
