Management of tomato diseases caused by Fusarium oxysporum

Abstract Fusarium wilt (FW) and Fusarium crown and root rot (FCRR) of tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici , respectively, continue to present major challenges for production of this important crop world-wide. Intensive research has led to an increased understanding of these diseases and their management. Recent research on the management of FW and FCRR has focused on diverse individual strategies and their integration including host resistance, and chemical, biological and physical control.
