commonly used measure the Area Under the Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC). Based on the AUDPC values at all five locations, only four treatments performed significantly better on both the susceptible and PM-tolerant cultivars than the untreated seedlings. The research determined that the fungicide Quintec controlled PM nearly ten times better than the next-best fungicides evaluated, regardless of cultivar susceptibility, even under very heavy PM pressure. To combat PM, this fungicide should be incorporated into the rotation early in the season and used according to label restrictions, although it will not control other cucurbit diseases. Certain other fungicides controlled PM well and should be considered as rotational partners with Quintec. To minimize disease resistance, broad-spectrum fungicides need to be tankmixed with other materials where appropriate. Future research in this area will concentrate on evaluating different groups of compounds, such as certified organic or fungicides derived from natural organisms, using the same experimental design described in this report. Because PM resistance is a moving target, new products need to be continually tested in order to manage this disease and to sustain pumpkin as a profitable seasonal crop in Ohio.
The disease powdery mildew (Podosphaera xanthii) causes significant yield and quality reduction every year in pumpkin and other cucurbit crops.
