Abstract:

Fusarium crown and root rot of tomato is one of the most serious soil-borne diseases in greenhouses during winter and spring in recent years. It is caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici(FORL),which caused huge losses to tomato production in China. FORL and pathogen causing Fusarium crown and root rot of tomato were different specializations of the same species of Fusarium oxysporum;however,its host was broader and it was more harmful than the tomato Fusarium oxysporum that only infects tomato. This article reviews the research progress on the occurrences of Fusarium crown and root rot of tomato,pathogen morphology and detection methods,pathogenesis and its prevention and control,and prospects on the research of Fusarium crown and root rot of tomato,aiming to provide useful reference for the control on Fusarium crown and root rot of tomato in China.

Key words: Fusarium crown and root rot of tomato, chemical control, biological control, agricultural control, disease-resistant breeding
