Rotenone provides good insect control but will do nothing for leaf diseases.

Next year, rotate your crops, plant resistant varieties, mulch to inhibit
splashing rain water from spreading soil-borne diseases, and maintain a
weekly fungicide spray routine.


I doubt this will help. I don't know of cukes resistant to bacterial
wilt, I rotate the squash, I mulch heavily, and bacteria are not fungi.
It is bacterial wilt.
