Mu Beautiful Cucumber Plant Died From Wilt

I am so sad - I did everything right and my 4 feet tall cuke plant died for no good reason accept Bacterium Wilt.
I want to plant more cukes, but I am avoiding putting the seeds in the same spot.
Any suggestions moving forward? I had baby cukes ready to grow too. :twisted:

So sorry to hear that; it is frustrating!

Here's an article about bacterial wilt in cucumber.

https://www.ianrpubs.unl.edu/pages/publicationD.jsp?publicationId=1299

The section called Management is about prevention of wilt.

It's mostly about dealing with the cucumber beetles that spread the disease.
