What systematics are the Connecticut growers using?
Curious as to the options after the 2024 ban on many of them

Not conneticut, but here's in canada we have a ban on a lot, I assume in the USA it would be even easier, but you just have to know someone with a spray liscence here (probably just know someone across state lines in the USA?)

Not sure what the options are, but it looks like acephate is still available... Not sure if any pumpkin growers use it though.

The other option would be to travel to a state that has it. NH, PA, DE should still offer bayer systemic tree and shrub.
