Sending this info from an old post that may help.(see below)
crack could be caused from fast pumpkin growth in the night . check to see
that you r vine dosn;t have to much tension on it, you may have to cut some
close vine roots to let you r pumpkin grow upwared.
If the crack is not to deep it may heal all on it s own. I used captan and
water paste on my wood cuck bites and it healed well.There is still hope .

>>Had a deep stem crack in the other which I repaired
with cottonballs soaked in bonomyl (excuse the spelling). Took 5
cottonballs. Nice technique though. Castellucci told me of it. Works
better then captan. Less chalky and the cotton fills a large crack
faster with less paste. Expensive though. Recent <<<<<
