A Modern Approach to Crop and Pest Management in Pumpkin (PDF)

Overview

This guide was written primarily with pumpkin production in the Midwest in mind; however, many of the practices can be extended to states in the Northeast or South. The pest complex and management are nearly the same for other
cucurbits, such as squash, melon, zucchini, and cucumbers. Including chapters on best integrated pest management for insects, diseases, and weeds, this publication also covers the natural enemies of pumpkin pests and how to protect pollinators. 2025.
