Not something I like to see. I found this yesterday on a couple of secondary vines were they were running into the lawn. It seems to be exclusively on the vines and a couple of leaf stalk bases. There were no holes or cracks anywhere. I cut the vine and leaf stalk open and they both looked perfectly healthy inside, with the brown spots only going about half a millimeter deep. The problem is isolated to the part of the plant where sencondaries had been allowed to grow into the lawn right up to some grape vines. I've been fighting a never ending battle with anthracnose on these grape vines so I'm wondering if it might've spread to the pumpkin. The symtoms are similar, necrotic splotches on stems and leaf stalks, the only difference being that the grape leaves have suffered spots from the disease while the pumpkin leaves have not. I'm thinking it probably has to do with the fact that the pumpkin's leaves are the only part of the plant that have been treated with fungicides. If you have any input on this it would be much appreciated!
