I am having issues with my Muskmelon plant. Can you tell me what may be wrong and what control to use? Local office feels it may be leaf blight?

Hi John, thanks for the question.

This looks a lot like Downy Mildew.  Although it has yet to be officially identified in your county.  This devastating disease will make short work of the plant leaves.  Check out the following links for more info:

I hope this is helpful.
