Pumpkin was pollinated July 4th this year and so far looks to be taking. Had a swath of leaves in the middle crisp and die very suddenly. As in one day they are fine and the next they are toast. It has been quite hot and dry, but there has also been a white crust on the older leaves. Probably ferts that dried on the leaf but could be powdery mildew. Debacco happened to be in the area and suggested we use a fungicide. Today we applied a systemic fungicide with a watering can to the roots.
