Anyone know of online sources for any of the following: agrimycin, telone-c, mycoshield, or similar antibiotics to fight bacterial wilt? I ripped out 3 more plants this past weekend and noticed that they all had healthy and extensive root systems. So much for my theory that I had phytophthora root rot. I sectioned several vines and did not notice any swelling or stringy stuff. But even so, I can not think of what else I could have other than bacterial wilt. I went by my local co-op yesterday and they didn't have any of the above. The university of missouri plant diagnostic lab called today and said they couldn't tell what the disease is from my description and photos that I sent them last week. In order for them to make a diagnosis they will need a sample of a diseased vine with roots. After the clouds and cool weather move out of my area in a day or two we'll see how my 2 remaining plants respond to sun and heat, I may have a plant to send them on Monday:(.
Thanks,
Mark
