Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (FOL) Snyd. et Hans. (FOL)
is a pathogenic form that causes soilborne vascular wilt disease in the tomato
(Solanum lycopersicum L.). Resistant
tomato varieties are mostly used against FOL. In this study, it was investigated to the efficacy of 15
commercial tomato varieties reported to be resistant to FOL and 3 suscebtible
tomato variaties (Mercury, Polaris, Tayfun, Alsancak, 112, Dort, 535, Northköy,
Alaturka, Tory, Yakup, Seval, Arzum, Kahraman, Asil, H2274, SC2121, Soil).
Tomato varieties were inoculated with FOL and were assessed according to the
scale of 0-4 after 4 weeks. The disease severity was evaluated using the
Townsend-Heuberger's formula. As a result, the most resistance variaties
were obtained from Merkür, Polaris, Alsancak,
Kuzeyköy and Tory to FOL disease and no symptom of diseases was observed. These
varieties were followed by Kahraman and Tayfun varieties and low disease
symptoms (7%) were observed. FOL was most commonly seen in Toprak, SC2121 and
H2274 tomato varieties, known as susceptible to disease.
