Northern Aurora County resident brought into the Extension Office these leaves from Buttercup Squash (on left) and Pumpkin. He has sprayed for cucumber beetle with Malathion. This leaf issue started before our monsoon rains the past week. The squash usually start dying during the 2 leaf stage. His beets and strawberry plants are doing ok. Any information for this gentleman is appreciated. I do have his phone number I can pass on to you if you would like to talk with him, otherwise I will pass on any information you might have for him.
