Pumpkin growing Question

Hello,
My name is Jim Hale and I wanted to ask your opinion on adding fungiside (
what kind) and or insecticide to the soil before planting. I haven't added
anything to my soil before, but last year  I had a beautiful plant started
and about the first of july the main vine started to turn yellow at the
base and the yellowing slowly started working its way down the vine,
radiating out the secondaries. It finally died. I believe some thing came
from the soil and into the plant. Is it O.K. to plant in the same location
year after year. What do you recommend I should do? Any info would be
helpful.
Thanks, Jim
