It looks like Mosiac to me. curled leaf edges and Mosiac Splotching on the leaves. No on has sprayed 2-4-D in the vicinity lately?

I had this on one of my pumpkins early on. Looked identical I sprayed with eagle 20 and the plant grew out of it. I did try to set a pumpkin on the main vine right where this showed up. The pumpkin didn't open but the next one in line did and it is right around 800 pounds at the moment.

I had a similar problem a few years ago believed to be too much Nitrogen. watered a bit heavy and the plants eventually grew out of it. I didn't have it on just one plant, I had it on 3 all at the same time.

Looks like classic mosaic virus.

No 2-4-D sprayed as far as I know. I will let the grower know that it is probably mosaic virus. They have other plants to fall back on. Thanks.

My plants looked like that this year but worse. I was convinced it was spray drift but now I’m 90% certain that it was from too much granular 12-12-12. I lost one of six plants and thankfully the others came out of it and have pumpkins on them that are ok. The plants were only 8 ft long at the time. Did you apply any fertilizer like I have described in the preceding week?

I thought Mosaic when I saw the picture also. Dealt with this on 1 plant a few years back and before we knew what hit us, we had unintentionally spread it to the whole patch (11 plants). It's the worst.
