Last year my cukes succumbed to cucurbit bacterial wilt, although thankfully not before producing a lot of fruit. This year I planted cukes in another garden and have been dutifully going out 1-2x per day to knock cuke beetles off my plants (which I understand carry the bacteria that causes wilt). Unfortunately, the wilt started earlier this year and despite my efforts I may not get any cukes. :(
My question is, how do you deal with bacterial wilt? Rotation? Killing beetles? Do you know of any resistant strains? I grow organic so synthetic pesticides are out, but if there is something organic that kills beetles I'd be willing to try! :)
Thanks
