Flowery Branch, Georgia

I am a grower in Georgia and I have lost the 2008
season to Anthracnose and phythropha.

I had the Georgia AG dept work on my problem.
Here in the mild weather area Anthrocnase can over winter
in the dead plant material. This was a surpise to me
as I thought the disease was exclusively the result
of using the same planting area year after year.

Sorry to hear that Bob. I used to think that LG's were somewhat resistant to fungus but maybe not.

Phytophthora will be cheap enough to correct now that Aliette is off patent.

Left side click AGRI-FOS. Check that Cucurbit label. About $70 for a 2.5 gal jug. Agri-Fos should be in everyones irrigation tank & some foliar programs.

You don't need me shipping 2.5 gallon jugs to GA. I'm friends with the owner of Quest so send me a private email & we'll find the GA distributor.
