Sluggo when plants are small.
Bt on hand in case I need it(didn't last year)
Daconil(just purchased)
Fingers
Water blast
Wasps
Spiders
Birds
Cats
Bats
Knock wood that's all I've needed so far this season.

Chosemerveille · August 5, 2015

Bleach spray
Actinovate
Excel LG
Copper Soap
Pyola
Daconil
BT (liquid concentrate)

Until I just saw spider mites a few minutes ago on my Marglobe I've been doing ok on the pests. I sprayed BT last week for the first time this season. My present issues are the just spotted spider mites and a squirrel or possum who has decided that taking a bite out of every tomato within 2 feet of the base of the plant is ok. So I'm gonna have to change his/her mind about that somehow.

As for disease I've been rotating Daconil and Copper Soap weekly, along with Actinovate/excel soil drenches. Used bleach spray about 3 weeks ago during my Septoria/powdery mildew issues to great success.

Plain water
My fingers
Floating row covers
Bt, when absolutely necessary
Safer brand insecticidal soap, when absolutely necessary.

In order of the frequency of using both summer and winter crops.

Bleach spray
Soapy water added to all sprays for pests or by itself
BT both spray and powder for all kind of worms especially cabbage worms and loppers
Copper Spray
Daconil
Sevin- for SVB on base of plant for SVB prevention and for hard to kill chompers
Permethrin when I just have to slow down some sucking insects
DE for spider mites and hopefully for slugs
Malathion if I am desperate and nothing milder works, haven't had to use it in years

This has been a relatively pest free year until the spider mites showed up in hordes. I used a little Sevin dust on the base of squash plants and spray on my cucumbers when the pickle worms showed up and then DE for my spider mite infestation.

Bill,

What is your mix ratio for applying DE? I'm thinking at I want to try that with the spider mites. Also, are you adding molasses or dish soap?
