Hello list
I used a tad more and did spray lightly. I used 7 mils (1/4 teaspoon) into one gallon. I could barely smell the chemical as I sprayed. There is no listing for cucurbits on the label. The friend that I got it from is a pumpkin and sweet corn farmer. He explained that it costs a company a lot of money to get a crop approved for listing. Cucurbit farming is not quite big enough so they have not gone for approval. He has been using it for years. He couldn't give be a good recommendation for a hand sprayer since he uses it in such huge quantities with large equipment. The label states that it can be applied up to one day before harvest. (Food for thought the next time you bite into an ear of Sweet corn)
My plants are still fine this mourning, a few more days should tell. I will probably spray lightly just one time per week. I know there are other growers on the list using Warrior T. Hopefully one or two of you may comment. Thanks for the response and have a SVB free season.
