RE: vineborers
Bill,
Just curious where you heard Ambush and pounce was not recommend for
control of vine borers? We have a couple of commercial growers in Indiana
and that is all they use. They have not had any problems. Several
universities recommend it. I usually see Pounce, Asana and Ambush all
mentioned. I am not trying to be critical of you. Just got me a little
concerned since Ambush is what I am using this year. Tried Sevin and Isotox
last year and go wiped out! Please let me know where you heard I would
appreciate it. Also has anyone else ever tried Ambush? and what were the
results. Thanks Bob and Good luck
