Abstract

Foot rot of tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), observed in Tochigi Prefecture in May and June 2004, was characterized by discoloration of main root and wilt. Fungal strains that were isolated from symptomatic tissue, caused the same symptoms on tomato plants after artificial inoculations with the isolates. On the basis of morphological and molecular analyses, together with the pathogenicity tests, the fungus was identified as Fusarium solani f. sp. eumartii. In this report of foot rot disease of tomato caused by F. solani f. sp. eumartii in Japan, we propose the Japanese name “Fusarium kabugusare-byo” of tomato.<br>
