One of my pumpkin plant has strange leaves but can't find what is the problem. Other symptom is both females and males flowers has yellow tips. I had the same problem on that same patch last year.

Hi Mehdi, If growth is good and the plant seems vigorous I would speculate it might be a nutrient deficiency. Iron? What else is different about that spot from your other spots? Is it poorly drained? Is the pH the same? Do you have any pictures of the yellow tipped flowers? I don't think I have ever seen that before. I find it interesting that the same problem occurred in the same spot two years in a row.

Minerals are all high.
That patch is strictly the same than the others, good drainage, Ph is the same.

I found a similar problem here : http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=141542
But the difference is my leaves born and grow fine and then the strange color appear.
I don't know what it is but it survives in the soil since 2 years.

Thanks, I checked the link weeks ago. It looks like Fusarium but Since the plant is going strong, It 's hard to understand.
