Re: yellowing leaves

John  --  Thanks for your response.  I'm in Virginia just south of
Washington, DC.   Where are you located?  I doused two seedling plots with a
5-oz Daconil and 5-oz Dial Soap in 2 gallons of water solutuion, and there
seemed to be improvement overnight, or things just didn't look worse.  I
haven't seen any whitish patches.  When I check the plots tomorrow, I'll
inspect for the wee spider mites.  The critters are seen around here
occasionally and leave a smear the color of Tabasco sauce when squashed.  --
