Rot is on stem near vine. Any way to repair? Do I cut the fruit off? 650+ side vine pumpkin. Still yellow just starting to turn color. Stopped growing 5 days ago.

Cut out the rot found one SVB. Applied sulphurand dried. Under side of the stem. Probably the only place that was not covered with insecticide.
