Cucurbit downy mildew (CDM) has been reported on cucumber in southern New Jersey (Salem County). This is the first report of CDM this growing season in the state. All cucumber and cantaloupe growers are encouraged to scout fields on a daily basis and begin preventative CDM fungicide programs if already not initiated. Presently, there is no need to initiate spray programs on other cucurbit crops in New Jersey.
