Reduced Fusarium Progression!
It seems the aggressive plant removal was worth it as the disease progression seems to have completely stopped. You can still see some of the potassium deficiency leaves, which just illustrates that some visual damage is permanent for the season. The plant now has sufficient potassium but this will not retroactively correct the yellow margins of the leaves that developed during the time of plant potassium deficiency.
The only down side to the aggressive plant removal is, based on some quick pumpkin taping the growth has slowed quite a bit after the main vine removal. However, I will gladly take a slow growing pumpkin over a pumpkin that rots due to Fusarium running down the main vine.
