  • Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 18:15:58 -0700 (PDT)

Hello friends,

I wonder if anyone might have some insight into
cures for bacterial wilt on cucumbers, squash,
etc. I know that the cucumber beetle is a vector
of this disease and that controlling the beetle
helps control the wilt. I wonder, though, are
there approaches that directly target the
bacteria? Also, will the removal of
wilted/affected leaves help or hurt the plant's
chances of survival.

Thank you so much for sharing any insight

Rob
