Hey kevin.The boring worm is easy to spot after it is basically too late since it eats a hole into your stem right above a branching node and then pushes its waste out that hole.So piles of crap at the base of your stems coming off the trunk are easily identified.I think my babies are coming out of it a little.I am starting to see more green in the new growth now though it is not by my own doing since I haven't changed anything.I still expect major losses though if not complete failure.Cold and rain are the only things that have seemed to change unless you count some granulated ferts that I put down when I first noticed the problem.I do know that this disease or whatever it is will come back next year so I am going to lay down some pesticides as a soil topdressing after harvest and use some neem as a soil treatment and foiliar treatment next year.I have no experience with neem oil but I hear it does wonders.To prevent viral/fungal issues already existing I am going to double dose the veg stage next year and see what happens.
