From: COMPUTRESE@aol.com
Subject: Mosaic Virus
Group:
After losing several plants to Mosaic Virus (MV) here in the South, I have
done much research on this unusual and stubborn disease. My conclusion is
this: MV is incurable. If your plants become infected before fruit set, there
is no hope. MV modus operandi is this: it gets into the plant through direct
means (piercing insects or direct sap contact from hands, garden tools,
pruners, etc) and corrupts the plant's ability to produce normal flowers,
fruit and leaves.
The only time MV is not disastrous is when late season infections appear
after fruits are set and nearly mature. Sometimes, a grower will see a few
leaves with mosaic mottling (light and dark blotching with raised bumps)
appear off a secondary very late in the season after normal fruits are set.
My suggestion is to break infected parts of the vine off and bag them up or
burn them. Avoid using tools to prune infected vines; the virus can remain on
the tool and spread to other plants easily, even season to season.
Much has been written on this horrible yet fascinating problem. Here's hoping
that you never have to experience the disappointment of MV.
Barb
Orlando, FL
There is no spray or soil treatment that can rid your plant of MV. The key is
timing. Early infection of MV can best be handled by pulling up the infected
plant and burning or discarding it where you are certain it will not be
composted.

Hi Rocky
Same thing will occur here this weekend I believe. The stem is going on my
697, I've applied Captan and have had fan running in the patch for the last
3-4 days. The rot is progressing to the pumpkin so I think it's time to act.
I'm thinking of cutting it and doing some surgery to try and save it for
weighoff. I have a smaller one on a Geerts plant that is gaining on and I
suspect will pass the 697 which is around 430lb.
Great pictures of Larry's pumpkin on your page. I took a drive over his way
last Sunday to get a look at it. I gotta tell you it was IMPRESSIVE.
I have to say the same about his wife Gerry's apple pie.

Wayne K,
Thanks for your concern. Pumkinguy is alive and well, but very busy with
the commercial pumpkin fields. I check the E-mails when I can .....come
November I will be back to normal. I have a nice A.G. going that could be a
personal best if it continues. Certain areas in Connecticut went without rain
for 2.5 months but we are hanging in there.

Steve,
No virus remedies that I know of yet. If the pumpkins are pretty much
full term, the virus won't bother them much. If you get the virus @ or near
fruit set, you will get fruit abortions and other fruit problems. I battled
WMV II for 4 years with no success and finally moved my patch to get away
from it.
