Do you have any proplems with stinkbugs in your pumpkins i think i lost
about a dozen or so plants last year to what i think was stinkbugs Isprayed
with sevin and 8 days later with diazon didn't have any damage after that.
the plants justed wilted and when i pulled them the roots looked fine but
there was stinkbugs on all them but 2. the bugs also got to my tomatoes
making spots on them.
