Abstract
The effect of nature of inoculum on disease induced by Fusarium oxyspo rum f.sp. lycopersici on tomato was tested. Chlamydospores produced in soil 30 days after inoculation induced a more severe disease than mic roconidia indicating a higher inoculum potential of chlamydospores. Th e method proposed produces easily an inoculum of F. oxysporum f.sp. ly copersici which infects the plants consistently and induces a relative ly high disease severity.
