| I have a problem with fusarium wilt in squash and BCMV in snap beans. The usual advice is to look for disease resistant varieties of seeds. I have not seen such information on seed packets at Lowe's or other stores and can not find the info on Burpee's website. Suggestions? Thanks |

| Can't help you with the seeds but get some Actinovate and start drenching your soil. It made a big difference on a couple of areas that had wilt issues. It's not a cure but it seems to slow it down to a crawl and give the plant chance it needs. You'll probably have to order it but maybe a local nursery might have it. It runs about $20.00 for a small package but you only use a teaspoon a gallon. It's used on lawns for mildew and lawn diseases so it's becoming more available down here in the south. I figure anything that might give the soil a chance to re-balance itself is worth a try. |
