White fuzzy stuff on Squash leaves

Hey, everyone,

Just popping on here with a question. I am hoping for some advice on what to do with my poor squash. The leaves have acquired this funny white stuff. I am not sure what it is, but it does not look healthy. Any thoughts on what this is, and (more importantly), how to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like powdery mildew to me.

It's powdery mildew. Cut off the leaves that are the worst affected and then do a search here for funcides to use. At this point there is no getting rid of it, you can only hope to control it.

PM, 100%.
At this stage all you can do is fight and keep it from getting worse. I would spray with fungicides like Daconile and Neem Oil sprays. They are available both on HD and Lowes.
Just follow the instructions.
