is this SVB?

19 years ago

hi everyone. in the past few weeks i have found probably around 10 different stems that have a tiny hole, or crack and a small amount of oozy drippy stuff, like the dreaded sawdust but gooey, most of these "holes" are low on the stem or actually on the vine itself. i immediately cut the affect leaf or vine off and open it to find more of the oozy stuff inside, but i have yet to find a SVB, could something else be leaving this? i assumed it was the SVB frass. today on my pumpkin i found the largest glop of it yet and i was 100% convinced that i had found the culprit, but when i cut it open there was nothing but a tiny bit more of the glop. anyone have any ideas? my plants are still in great health (except for the darn squash bugs and squash beetle population) i probably should have taken some pics, but i just got rid of the leaves instead. i am not overly concerned (yet) because whatever is doing this isn't really affecting my plants, and i never have a problem sharing with the insect population as long as it does not affect the health of my plants. thanks. sarah
