Sugary goo
I have a squash problem and I need your help. I just spoke with John, the U
of MN Entomologist and he seemed stumped. I told him I would post my problem
to the group - he wants a call back if you have any ideas about what could be
causing my problem!
This a.m. I noticed I lost a squash plant. In the center growth area there
is a large spot of clear, sugar-like substance - quite a lot of it. One half
of the plant is wilted away from the sugary spot. John said it sounded like
SVB but there is no sawdust-like substance around the plant. I have seen
that in my garden in past years and it just doesn't look the same.
There was a squash bug on the plant. I didn't notice any other bugs but I
will have to check more carefully tonight. What do you make of it?
Thanks!!

P.S. I have had ENOUGH with these insects!!! I just called the Dept of Ag
to order my materials so I could take the test to get an applicator's
license. I need to be able to use the strong stuff!! No more fooling around.
