Yep, the past three weeks have been a whooping. I've pulled up nearly all plants from spring, that were either dead, or nearly so from Fusarium. I've got the one trial plant that Marla sent me about a month ago, and a few other hybrids I recently planted with resistance to Fusarium, hoping for a fall crop. We shall see how it goes. Great weather year here in Texas. Bad year with regards to Fusarium.
Bill I have a question. I noticed that a lot of the plants looked pretty good before the disease started taking its toll. Lots of blossoms, ideal weather conditions for fruit set. Even used the electric toothbrush. However, some plants didn't set one single fruit. Does Fusarium affect fruit set? I'm starting to think so! Does your experience reflect this?
Thanks,
Susan
