Management of tomato diseases caused by Fusarium oxysporum

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.

Description
Summary: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. •Fusarium wilt (FW) and Fusarium crown and root rot (FCRR) cause major tomato losses.•This review covers recent intensive research on management of these diseases.•Topics include host resistance, and chemical, biological and physical control.•Integrative management strategies for FW and FCRR are also presented.
