Re: diseases-- not this year --I HOPE

stink bugs are squash bugs and they burrow into the vine so you have to
start spraying very early .... like when the first two leaves form.... also
try using seven swp80 it does a much better job and you should rotate the
use with other chemicals so as not to get bugs that are immune.  diazanon
makes fat happy stink bugs ..
