e0“the number of severely infected leaves recorded 28 days after transplanting (DAT) was significantly (P0.01) lower in the fungicide-treated than in the control plots. The fungicides were effective in maintaining considerably lower disease levels in treated plots up to flowering. However, early differences in disease severity did not translate into yield differences, because by the time of fruit set and fruit filling disease levels were the same.”

- Observation Tomato seed infection by Fusarium species was found.
- Intervention effect Fungicide-treated tomato seeds performed better than controls.
