CYVD (Cucurbit Yellow Vine Decline) Leaf Comparison
Here the coloration difference is a bit more subtle. I am holding a normal looking leaf on the left side for comparison to the infected leaf on the right.
-Why am I showing this?
Because this is the level of detection that can come with experience and when a grower can better understand the “normal” plant it can allow them to spot issues early and make adjustments that newer growers may not catch until much later.
I include this to stress the importance of understanding your plants and being able to know the normal is. Once this is established the abnormal can be identified early and details associated with the change can provide clues for implementing a procedure for correction.
In this case, there is nothing that could be done, but knowing this, I shifted plans for this pumpkin to an early weigh-off and not wasting any additional resources allows for the greatest chance at getting the pumpkin to the scale.
