Cucurbit downy mildew was found in a research plot near Pittstown in northern New Jersey this week . All cucurbit growers should scout their fields on a regular basis and should add a downy mildew specific fungicide to thier weekly fungicide maintenance program. For current 2013 Cucurbit Downy and Powdery Mildew Management Guidelines please see post from 6/7/13. Additional information on the control of cucurbit downy mildew can be found in the 2013 Commercial Vegetable Production Recommendations.
