We present formulas and results on top-quark production by W-gluon fusion. A detailed comparison is made between the rate for this process and the backgrounds at the Fermilab Tevatron. The main backgrounds to this process come from tt̄ production and from the production of a W-boson plus jets in QCD. Using standard cuts at the Tevatron and a b-quark tag we find that the tb̄ production rate is smaller than at least one of these backgrounds for all top-quark masses accessible at Fermilab.
