Re:Warrior-T, Basamid, Zero Tolerance

 Beth (and others),
  Need to give the Warrior-T a try,(for those wishing to use a pesticide).
All the people I know of that used Warrior this year were well pleased. Come
on Brad,Larry,Dan,etc. back me up here on this. Sure,it's expensive but
worth every penny to me!

  I used Imidacloprid in 99.  That's the active ingredient in Merit.  My
vines 
  were filled with borers.  I cut out 30? 40? 50??  Who knows.  I lost
count.  
  It DID kill cucumber beetles and other insects very well, but the borers 
  were not affected at all by it.
  
  Now I like to use a little when the plants are young, as it prevents
damage 
  at that stage and is less hard on the plants than sprays (sevin or 
  whatever).
  
  There are a number of other growers who used Merit that year as well.  It 
  was supposed to be the latest and greatest weapon against the borers.  
  Several of their patches were completely wiped out by borers.
