Conditions conducive in parts of Illinois to Phytophthora infection of cucurbits

According to State Extension Pathologist Mohammad Babadoost, all cucurbit plants (vine crops) in northern Illinois and possibly other areas experiencing wet field conditions should be sprayed for Phytophthora. Spray with Revus alternated with Orondis Opti or Ranman. Because pumpkins have such dense canopies, add in addition ProPhyt to all sprays
