  Hmm, this sounds very similar to a disease I have been fighting. This year
2


  plants had it. They did not die right away , took nearly a month. Plant

  slowly turned yellowish and leaves wilted somewhat, and then slowly died

  off. It did not grow at all after turning yellow. I sprayed with seven,
and

  it kept it off some of my plants but was not 100 percent effective. Also,
it


  did not bother other pumpkins and gourds, only affected C. maxima.  Could

  you send me more information on this disease?



  Thanks,

  John
