RE: Fusarium

Don,
See if these links help, from Cornell. I think Fusarium of Cucurbits and Fusarium of Tomatoes may be different.
 
Be sure to click the other links on these pages. Hope this helps.
For any other disease, insect, pesticide& fungicide & fertilizer recommendations on cucurbits for anybody else out there, see:
Loads of info. Hope this helps.

List,
It might be a little early to start talking patch preparation but here goes. I rotate two patches, the patch I'm using next yr. had some fusarium (wilt) in it the last time I used it. This yr. it affected tomatoes, browning leaves , etc. The last time I used it (in 2000) a plant went down with the wilt. It affects about 1/3 of patch. Should I cover with new soil. compost a foot deep? or does any of the pros know what I can do?
Haven't heard much about this one and trouble finding ways to deal with it on the net. Help!
I had three pumpkins around 300# this yr. I need to trim a small wooded area for more sun, don't get any till 9:30 or 10:00a and then till sundown is good. More hills in WV also. Not complaining but any suggestions for this?
I was proud of the ones I grew. You've all helped me so much so far. Thank you all for your help.
