               I am new this year. My leaves were beginning to look dull and I spotted quite a few aphids and I found one cutworm. I put Down triazicide for cutworm and insecticide soap for aphids.  Will the plant improve and how often should I spray.  Sure appreciate this site.My largest pumpkins  is 122 ott  but I have 50 more days before I weigh in. It has been 24 days since pollination.

               In my opinion, merit spray/drenches are the most effective on aphids.  Not good for bees though but some people remove or cover blossoms.
