How to prevent pumpkin leaf spot? Mastering these methods is key
Pumpkin leaf spot mainly damages leaves and flower stalks. The pathogen overwinters in the soil with diseased plant debris. In spring, the pathogen spreads via splashing rainwater. In the early stage of the disease, leaf spots are round to nearly round or irregular in shape. The leaf margins are dark brown, and the junction between diseased and healthy tissue appears water-soaked. When humidity is high, dense small black dots form on the spot surface, and in severe cases the leaf spots merge, causing the leaves to partially...
