Additions to the Host Range of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici

(...) Fourty-seven species and 11 varieties within 5 of those species from 15 botanical families were inoculated by a root-dip technique with four isolates of the fungi. (...)Colonies formed on the selective medium were identified with the use of a tomato seedling test on water agar. Thirty-seven of the 53 plant species and varieties were infected by at least one of the four fungi isolates. Highly susceptible species, including Lycopersicon esculentum, were observed from the Solanaceae, Leguminosae, Cucurbitaceae and Chenopodiaceae. Several symptomless hosts were identified
