Dewitt Mi.

Discovered mildew on my small backyard city lot patch 20x20
I have one 175lbs pumpkin that's adding 10 to 15 lbs a day.
I removed approx 25 leaves that had spots. Is it too late to add a fungicide. What type????? Need to win a pumpkin contest against my friend. Will removing leaves cause a problem in the future???? thanks

Hey Snack about four posts down from here...the copper fungicide worked...gonna want to save as many leaves as ya can ..the plant will age rapidly and they'll be dropping off of old age as it is...Grow em Big! Chuck

If you'd like to avoid using copper any of the better systemic fungicides work weel. Myclobutanil containing fungicides are awesome.
