I have been using drip with all those results you pointed out...So now what
are you using, and do you sulfur for powerdery mildew? That is a problem I
have yet to concur. Charlie...Napa >>
I use overhead just before dawn after the Pumpkin setting season. If you
water at that time during flowering you will hurt pollination. During
flowering I water 12 midnight and 3 a.m. any later than that the flowers may
be damaged. On a warm night they can start opening at 4 a.m. around hear. I
deep soak every 5 days unless there is an 1" of rain then I start the count
again. I also supplement with buckets of rain water at the root zone. I have
only seen minor Powdery Mildew on AG's but I do have that problem with over
squash plants but not before the middle of August the combination of heavy dew
and cooling night temperatures bring it on even if you don't water. I use an
alternating fungicide program using Benilate, and Dyconel (not sure of
spelling).
Hope that helps.
