A final note on the symptoms of the 175 Rahe plant. New growth looked normal for about 5 days after fruit abort then the leaves began to show symptoms.
I just received the results for the sample of the 175 Rahe plant.
"The giant pumpkin sample was exhibiting symptoms typical of and has tested positive for cucurbit yellow
vine using PCR. This disease is transmitted by the squash bug and the good news, if any, is that this
pathogen does not survive in the soil, it overwinters in the bugs.
The University of Kentucky has information on this disease at:
http://www.ca.uky.edu/agcollege/plantpathology/ext_files/PPFShtml/PPFS-VG-12.pdf and the University of
Connecticut gave some information on trap cropping that might be helpful:

Note: I did cultures for Fusarium and Verticillium, results were negative"
I sent the sample here.
