“…Glasshouse trials in Qld revealed Fon to cause more severe wilt symptoms in seedless compared with seeded watermelons but it is not known whether leaf blotch was observed (Persley and Horlock 2003). In common with the observations of Dau et al (2009b) in Vietnam, vascular discoloration was not observed in wilted plants in the field or in the pathogenicity tests, except for one mature field plant ( Fig. 1c and d).…”

Watermelon Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum was first detected in the Northern Territory, Australia in May 2011. The disease affected seedlings and plants from three triploid seedless watermelon varieties from six locations. Pathogenicity tests were conducted and the fungus was shown to be pathogenic. This outbreak is the first report of Fusarium wilt in triploid seedless watermelons with symptoms similar to bacterial leaf blotch and typical wilt in Australia.

“…Among these diseases, vascular wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (Fon) stands out due to its importance, since it is the main fungal disease that affects the watermelon crop in the whole world, with the ability to cause losses of up to 100% when cultivars with fungus resistance are not used (Dau et al, 2009). It was observed for the first time at the beginning of the decade of the 1890s, in southern United States, where it caused severe losses to farmers (Martyn, 2014).…”

Objective: To describe Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (Fon) as the causal agent of vascular withering in the watermelon crop (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai). Design/Methodology/Approach: A review of scientific literature (scientific books, notes and articles) was carried out about Fon as the causal agent of vascular withering in the watermelon crop; biology, symptoms, disease cycle, isolation and management alternatives. Results: Withering from Fusarium in watermelon is the main fungal disease of this crop worldwide. Necrosis of the vascular tissue and withering of the plant are the most characteristic symptoms of the disease. There are four races of this fungus (Fon race 0, 1, 2 and 3); the commercial varieties of watermelons have different degrees of resistance to these races. Practices such as the correct diagnosis, use of grafts, solarization, fungicides, biological products and genetic resistance can significantly reduce the impact of the disease on the production. Findings/Conclusions: In Mexico, knowledge about vascular withering of watermelon is scarce despite this disease being one of the factors that limits commercial production. The greatest knowledge about the symptoms, the fungus’s biology, presence and distribution of races, diagnosis and alternatives of Fon management, will allow integrating appropriate management practices that favor the commercial production of the crop.

First report of Fusarium wilt of watermelon in Vietnam

Abstract: Fusarium wilt of watermelon caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum caused seedling losses in nurseries, as well as severe losses in many crops in Nghe An province, Vietnam, in 2008. Isolates of the fungus were shown to be pathogenic. All 20 cultivars grown in the province in
