RE: pumpkin status and a question or two

Jason,

 

Malathion was the most likely cause of the burn. Bifenthrin controls the

same pests (actually a few more) at lower rates for longer.

Using the two together wasn't necessary.

 

" Last weekend I put down some grubex all over the yard with a double  

pass along the places where the plants are.  No ill effects.  I  

sprayed some plants with a mixture of malathion and bifenthrin and it  

burned the leaves badly - I don't know if the malathion or bifenthrin  

caused this but either way I won't be spraying the leaves with either  

of these until I know which one not to put on the leaves (opinions,  

anyone?).  The imidacloprid does not seem to have had any effect on  

any of them because the strongest plants with biggest/largest/best- 

looking leaves had more grubex pellets than the others."
