Collapse ▲Cucurbit downy mildew has been reported in Haywood, Polk, Ashe, Henderson, and Chatham counties during this past week. Now that cucurbit downy mildew is present in several regions of North Carolina and surrounding states, its important that growers scout for the disease and keep up with preventive sprays to protect their crop and avoid yield loses.
If you are not familiar with cucurbit downy mildew symptoms on different cucurbits please see our previous alert to assist you in diagnosing this foliar disease. If you think you have cucurbit downy mildew in your cucurbits please contact your local Extension Agent and send photos and/or physical samples to the Plant Disease and Insect Clinic.
