Yellowing pumpkin leaves?

Question

Should I use a fungicide on them?

They're yellow and brownish and look like they're rotting.

I don't want to lose all my pretty pumpkins ):

Also, it's only in the center of my pumpkin patch.

Answer 1

Yes I would use a fungicide on your pumpkin plants. The plant may have bacterial wilt. Also, I would check the plants to make sure you do not have any squash vine bores or cucumber beetles eating the plants. If vine bores get into the vine they are near the stump of the plant near the roots. You can see small holes were they have entered the vine. I bought some gardening dust that at a local nursery. Hope this helps.
