Squash vine problems linked to pests and disease
Squash vines that wilt along their entire length are likely infected with bacterial wilt spread by striped cucumber beetles. Treat by spraying with methoxychlor when vines start to run. If only the outer vine portion wilts, the stem borer is the cause. Open the stem with a sharp knife, remove the borer, place the stem on the ground, and cover with dirt to form new roots.
