In this photo, you can see a healthy young set pumpkin growing off of a side vine typically it is only a matter of time before this one goes down too. That being said this disease is somewhat mysterious, and there have been a couple times. I was sure I had yellow Vine disease. I lost the big pumpkin on the main. The plant was exhibiting stunted leaves and yellowing leaves. Yet somehow I still was able to produce a few pumpkins that were in the 2 to 300 maybe even 400 pounds range on those sick stunted plants. The only possible explanation I can come up with is that I would load the plant up with phosphite , perhaps the phosphite has a way of preventing complete spread of the yellow vine disease? Another explanation could be the fact that perhaps they never had the disease, they had something else. Or another explanation could be. There are different strains of yellow vine disease with varying degrees of potency and different abilities to spread within the plant with different symptoms.
