I've had a tough year so far a terrible drought, with no rain at all for 41 days, and one tenth inch in 63 days.. Now termites have eaten away the large part of the tap roots,they appear to be darker than most termites almost ant like but are not ants.. I had dusted the foliage with sevin, for grasshoppers and leaf hoppers, I know but I'm still 3 months from harvest so I'm not worried about residue just keeping my plants alive.... another friend has had this problem also and confirms his plants were also killed by termites. We both agree that when watering your plants for an extended period they are just like an oasis in the desert, every thing wants to eat whatever still is moist...anyone got suggestions
