since I only grew pumpkins as a kid and in the bahamas, I lack a good chemical pest / disease routine. and with Mosaic virus spotted only 3 miles away and something yet unseen eating my cuccumber leaves I need one now and fast, please help.

I'm no expert - since I primarily grew organically until this year (have used Sevin for a long time though...) But I'll try to help:

If you're going organic - a Sulphur fungus spray + insecticidal soap every 5-7 days works well...

If you're going 'nuclear' - I've had the BEST luck with Sevin + Immunox spray - every 7 days..... I've also used a 'fruit tree' spray - which is Malathion + a fungicide - every 7 days with decent results...

ANY LEAF/PLANT showing signs of Mosiac - needs to be immediatly removed and BURNED!!
