Lets do a poll.

When spraying for SVB, how many people spray the whole plant and how many spray only the leave stems and vines?

I spray lightly on the leaves then I really hit the stems and vines havent had much plant damage yet.

its better to do stems and bottom of big leafs they lay eggs on stems and underside of leafs- small leafs are tender spray at own risk

You need to get the Pyrethroid ( Ambush recommended) on the vines under the canopy as well as on the leaves. Spray only in the evening. I apply with fish/seaweed and have no leaf burn issues.

I spray the entire plant. I try to concentrate on the stems, vines and stump... SVB will concentrate on the stump/soil line and the area where the primary vine gets wide.
