Attached is the first of several photos showing the progression of a plant problem. My plants have suffered with this (as have I) for the last 3-4 years. Things start out ok and everything looks healthy but over time leaves newer growth starts to show some yellowing which gets worse and finally all the new growth is deformed, stunted, and pitiful. If a pumpkin has been pollinated it will begin to show white blotches and bleach out, finally aborting and rotting. This can happen anytime even if it > 200-300 lb. I've had soil test which show nothing crazy. This years disease test indicated fairly high levels of fusarium and pythium which I've treat with azoxystrobin. If you have any idea what's causing this please let me know.
