  1. #Plant #viruses interact with wild drought-tolerant perennials in California desert natural areas encroached upon by agriculture. Non-native #viruses normally associated with #crops can be very common in wild plants like wild #cucurbits - article in the journal Phytobiomes by Tessa M. Shates and others like @AphidLady - doi.org/10.1094/PBIOMES-05-23-

  2. #Whitefly-transmitted #viruses of #cucurbits in the southern United States, including #begomoviruses, #criniviruses, and #ipomoviruses - Review of their biology, epidemiology, and management options like resistance and cultural practices - Article in the journal Viruses by Ragunathan Devendran and others - doi.org/10.3390/v15112278

  3. The spotted cucumber #beetle (#Diabrotica undecimpunctata) also known as the southern corn #rootworm is a serious, native #pest in North America, damaging #crops like #cucurbits, #maize, #legumes and sweet potatoes.

Haber and others - doi.org/10.1093/jipm/pmad016

  4. Gummy stem blight is an important global #disease of #cucurbits, caused by 3 species of #fungi that are morphologically identical and have overlapping geographic and host ranges. Resistant cultivars are not known and the fungi are often insensitive to fungicides. Review article in Molecular Plant Pathology (2023, vol. 24, issue 7, pp. 825-837) by Rewa Seblani and others - doi.org/10.1111/mpp.13339

  5. CW: Why I'm not planting winter squash

    @prairiefan

    I'm wondering if I could graft delicata onto tromboncino root stock. Someone must have tried this already. Bt might work well enough in a grafted plant - though you would have to inject between every node since the channels are blocked at the nodes.

    Cucurbits can be grafted:

  9. After a titanic struggle, I have successfully pulled the largest kitchen knife from the butternut squash I was trying to cut up. I understand that this makes me the rightful king of England. I don't make the rules. (*)

    (*) Well, I didn't, but now that I'm king (**), I certainly will.

    (**) Having inspected my hands, I believe that I'm not just any king. Specifically, I seem to be William of Orange.
