I have researched the disease on the long gourds and I think it is anthracnose. No lab diagnosis, funds don't allow the cost of testing this year. But I have lots of it on the trees and other plants in the valley. Brought on by humid conditions and poor are circulation, which describes our valley. At least I have an idea of what fungicides to use. I am going to modify the trellis to allow more room for growth and air circulation. And I will cut back from 4 plants to just 3 and do some vine pruning. Since I have gotten fertility levels up the plants get much bigger that they used to get.
