Abstract:
Two races of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis were identified among 54 isolates of this pathogen, tested on three differential lines of melon. Of the two races, race 0 was the more prevalent, comprising 92.5% of the total number of isolates tested. Race 1 has been encountered so far in one growing area only. The identity of the local races is compared with those defined in France and in two areas of melon-growing in California. © 1979 Springer Science + Business Media B.V.
