I'm getting yellow spots on my pumpkin leaves that eventually turn the entire leave spotted yellow. The leave then dies. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks DJK

I checked in my old botany book, it may be a symptom of zinc deficiency, and/or manganese. Some trace elements are essential for good plant health.
The book says: "manganese is thought to be necessary for the proper function of respiratory enzymes in the plant. Recently, it was found that a chlorotic condition (i.e. yellowing of the plant caused by the failure of chlorophyll to develop could be overcome by adding manganese salts to the soil"
