Has Len posted any updated info or his results on the subject of pre-sprout seed soak in systemic pesticides since 02/20/2001? I know from the article he was going to use different solution strengths and soak times in 2001. Would someone share Len's contact information? please?

I can't speak for Len but a lot of growers are using his methods whether they know it or not. Do a search from the main page for "imidacloprid" "admire" "merit" "marathon" "gaucho" "provado" "grub-ex" etc. All of these products contain the same active ingredient.

Gaucho & Provado are the only ones specifically labeled for use on seeds as a pre-planting treatment. But Pumpkins can't read labels so any number of off label uses are employed by growers.
