I was seeing sawdust around the stem nodes the last couple days and sprayed spinosad last night.Hope I wasn't too late.For anyone in New England just saw my first squash stem borer flying around today, The flyers only last a couple weeks so they are busy laying eggs now, The damage from these fuckers dont show up till late july GET SPRAYING i use spinosad.
Oh boy that means the worm has hatched an is now in your plant I have sliced the stalk an dug a few out 50/50 if branch makes it. Most people dont even notice the damage until things get to wilting late july then find the holes an dust.I was seeing sawdust around the stem nodes the last couple days and sprayed spinosad last night.Hope I wasn't too late.
Yes it's only a couple small tops about 10 inches long ,I cut them off anyway .I'm in VA so you guys get spraying luckily I remember them from last season.Oh boy that means the worm has hatched an is now in your plant I have sliced the stalk an dug a few out 50/50 if branch makes it.

It was strangely like right in the crotch of the leaf and sprout stem on top.I checked under where I he'd them last year and didn't find anything . Hopefully they just got started.was the hole right below where a leaf grows out thats mostly where i find mine must be a soft spot there?
I never dealt with them growing in swamps but once i starting growing legal on my property i get them every yr.Usually they drill under the stem and sawdust falls on the fan leaves.I haven't seen that this year yet.
I have lost branches to stem borers, here in Oklahoma, but usually the plants are large enough to deal with them without any problems. I can see how smaller plants could be devastated.Oh boy that means the worm has hatched an is now in your plant I have sliced the stalk an dug a few out 50/50 if branch makes it.

Frigging wind has been my problem. It never stops. Lost 10 seedlings so far. And they weren't tiny.I have lost branches to stem borers, here in Oklahoma, but usually the plants are large enough to deal with them without any problems. I can see how smaller plants could be devastated.
