I just got my soil test results back. I am new at the world of pumpkins and thought maybe someone would give me a hand on this. My soil ph is 6.4, phosphate431, potash 2326 Magnesium 830, Calcium 3635. My organic matter is 4.9, but that is before I added all of the leaves. I will test in the spring to see what has changed. My copper is 2.99, my Iron 386.77, Manganese 80.18, Zinc 7.91. They recomend that I add Nitrogen 75lb/A Phosphate 50 lb/A and 3000 Calcitic Limestone. Thank you in advance for the help, Spot

your test seems to be fine other than keep adding organic matter and do add the lime try to raise your ph to 6.8 or so

check your P:Zn ratio. You want lower than 20:1. Also, Mn might be harder to take up if Fe:Mn is higher than 2:1.
I would add no P myself.

Phosphate needs to be higher than your (potash or K)
Phosphate= PHOSPHOROUS =ROOTS, AND FLOWERING K= POTASH OR POTASSIUM= PLAYS A BIGGER ROLE AT FRUIT DELVELOPING LATER IN THE SEASON. My 2 cents I would do as recomended, no flowers no pumpkin
