Abstract
An investigation was carried out into the influence of certain agronomic practices (crop rotation, deinfestation of the soil and use of resistent rootstocks) and of the texture of the soil on populations of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis found in melon fields situated in the provinces of Cremona and Mantova (northern Italy). To show the associations between the variables taken into consideration, a multiple correspondence analysis was performed. The study confirmed the role played by sandy soil in increasing inoculum density and indicated that only two consecutive years of melon cultivation reach the same result. However, use of resistant rootstocks allows melon to be grown in monoculture without an excessive rise in the level of the pathogen population.
