Answer :

Hi, I have had success using 750 mL of water with 1 tsp of dish soap (I use the Shaklee handwash dish soap but you can use any kind of "green" dish soap).  Put in a spray bottle and spray the leaves (including the underside) with the mixture...makes the leaves slippery and the cutworms fall off....may have to reapply
