What's wrong with my Zucchini plant?

10 years ago

What is my zucchini plant suffering from? I know it has the powdery mildew and I've been treating it with an organic Garden Safe product but I don't think that's the only problem. All of my older, larger leaves look like this but as you can see all of the new growth is dark green and in great health. What do you think?

just cut them off and keep away from the plants. I think the yellowing of older leaves is normal, as long as you cannot see any sign of disease, especially the next leaves up the vine are normal.

seysonn-do you think the yellowing is normal? It just seemed like it started when the powdery mildew came on. I'm relieved to hear that you think it looks normal! I've been pretty worried about it but like I said, all the new growth looks good.
