For soil given to cutworm, vine borer, squash bugs, cucumber beetles,
bacterial wilt, and mildew, what are the best methods of saving your prized
pumpkin from planting through maturity? I would be interested in proven
successes, product names, treatment methods, and whether a liquid fed
systemic solution exists. Has anyone found Diazinon to be effective?

I have used Diazinon Ultra (Ortho) with success so far. Diazinon is a water
based insecticide. I do not have vine borers so I cannot comment on it's
efficacy in that regard.
For fungus, powdery mildew, etc., Daconil (Ortho) is effective at controlling
them under extreme FL heat and humidity.
