 Growers,
 O.K., here's the scoop. Yesterday I went to the patch armed with
 X-Acto knife and made small cuts in three of the mains and
 found no SVB grub. On the last plant, I split the main for a distance
 of 6 feet (knowing that this would probably do this baby in) and
 still haven't found a larvae. I piled dirt all along the stem at the cut.
 What's going on with my plants? If it isn't SVB, reckon what else
 could be displaying the same symptoms...dying, watery stems...
 first yellow then brown dried up crispy leaves...what could this be?
 I am totally perplexed at this point and sure wish I knew what to do.
 Any comments?
 
 Thanks,
 Scott Parsons

Sometimes the vine will bleed mimicking a SBV injury.  I use a syringe I got 
from Gardens Alive filled with 7 and squirt it in the hole.  If there's one 
in there it kills it or flushes it out.  It does much less damage to the 
plant.
