Hi all,

First time trying to grow a giant pumpkin. Currently at 101 estimated weight and have a problem. Was looking for help with what this is on my atlantic giant pumpkin leaves. I have applied copper fungicide which i belive has slowed it down.

Let me know your thoughts on what it is and or help treating.

I was looking at the pics in an effort to do a Google visual search and I hope I didn't mess them up for you - there are like 2 or 3 now that have a red X in the middle of each. I do not know what the leaves' problems are butt I'd say that there is likely an infestation causing the dry, brown areas in the thousands, but I was more concerned about the goofed pics if nothing else. I'd see through them with a strong flashlight at night for a better feel for if there is an insect horde at fault, whereas I've never seen the problem depicted.
There will be other answers and better at that! Check your pics and I hope I didn't foul them up. eric g
