CYVD (Cucurbit Yellow Vine Decline) Leaf Comparison

Here is a close-up of the normal leaf (on the left) and infected leaf (on the right).

Attention to detail is key when growing giant pumpkins. While the posted image may not exactly replicate what is seen in the field, it is important to realize that attention to detail is important.

For example, even though I am showing the difference between a normal and CYVD infected leaf, if you look closely at the normal leaf in the 12 o’clock position you will see some evidence of slight potassium deficiency. While early detection is important so are proactive and quick adjustments to prevent further progression. You will also notice that this potassium deficiency issue is isolated to this region, indicating a quick in-season adjustment to prevent continued progression.
