Luke, upload your photos to Photobucket. Then, copy the .html code (not the .jpg code, but the .html code), and paste that code right into the body of your message. Your photos will then appear right in your message. Much easier to read this way, than trying to look at links. Patty S.

It is treatable. I had it a while back. WINE and BEER work for most people. I used WHISKEY----Work Has Infiltrated Sectors Kindly Eradicate Yourself

As the originator of the one cane removal technique, I can tell that it works sometimes. Sometimes is a whole lot better than never. One scientist has said to me that how can you tell it doesn't come back. I have responded to him, after ten years of good healthy growth, that should be enough. I don't think it works for fall infected hybrid teas as I didn't save any of mine that got fall infections that I saw the following spring. The other thing I do is check with a microscope to see if the infected bush is teaming with eriophyid mites. Mine aren't. I don't use insecticide or acaricides and I see beneficials at the microscopic and visbile to the naked eye sizes. Here's my ebook about RRD/RRv for those who haven't seen it before.

Mr. Kuska, Why exactly are you singling out Vamidothion and what its relation is to the referenced Bayer patent, I'm not sure. I also do not know if Vamidothion is chemically a sulfoximine. Are you implying that it is? The only commercial insecticide active ingredient I am aware of that is actually classed as a sulfoximine is sulfaxaflor, commercially available in the US in the formulations 'Transform' and 'Closer'. Sulfoxaflor and the sulfoximine insecticides: Chemistry, mode of action and basis for efficacy on resistant insects Vamidothion is a highly toxic organothiophosphate invented in the 60s and currently banned in many places worldwide including the whole of the EU (but used in Australia). Vamidothion is only mentioned in the referenced patent, which refers to sulfoximines, along with a host of other chemicals in (my bold): "..... In general, the active substances according to the invention may additionally be present, in their commercially available formulations and in the use forms prepared from these formulations, as mixtures with other active substances, such as insecticides, attractants, sterilants, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth-regulating substances or herbicides. ..... Insecticides/acaricides/nematicides: The active substances mentioned in the present description by their “common name” are known for example from “The Pesticide Manual” 14th Ed., British Crop Protection Council 2006 and from the website http://www.alanwood.net/pesticides.
