Does anyone know the GDD50 of the adult emergence?
Given the late spring this year, I feel this may be the most accurate means of timing the first insect spray.

Thanks,

Steve, These aren't the only problem...whiteflies and aphids can give ya Mosaic Virus and should be considered in any spraying schedule...Any biting bug is a vector and should be stopped!! We all hate the SVB but Mosaic Virus is a season ender too! Chuck

Hey Chuck,
Didn't ask because I know I have them on my GDD calculator. Can't for the life of me REMEMBER what they are, but I got 'em!
Between Merit, Sevin SL, Capture, & Furadan, I doubt I'll have much trouble. As long as I time things correctly that is.

Hopefully after the long cold winter we just had it will put the SQUASH on the Squash vine Boror.
