RE: insectides


Deb,
I dust my transplants the minute I put them out in May. I use fungicide
shortly thereafter. This spring was cool and WET. That is a sign to put the
fungicide to them. I use a regular schedule of pesticide from the first part
of June until at least Aug. 1. 
I use copper fungicide and Captan. Use Sevin dust early for cuke beetles. I
then switch to Triazicide and Ortho Max for SVB.

We have had a hellish spring.  Two of my plants are starting now.  I was 
wondering when I start proactive pest/insect control and disease control.
Last 
year I was playing catch up and I want to start early this year.  When do
you 
start and what do you use this time of year?

Debbie
