Abstract
Kenya is one of the leading countries in Africa in tomato production. Production of tomato is 14% of the total vegetable and 6.72% of the horticultural crops produced in the country. The major factor that reduces the growth and yield of tomato production in Kenya are pathogenic microorganisms. For instance, Fusarium oxysporum is among the fungal pathogens that destroy the xylem of the plant hence causing Fusarium wilt due to poor transportation of water to various parts of the plant. Besides, it persists in the soil environment for a long period thus continuously infecting healthy plants grown in the site, hence it reduces the farmer’s harvest. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and prevalence of Fusarium wilt. A preliminary survey was carried out in Mwea, Kirinyaga County which is among the most common areas where tomatoes are grown. Analysis of the collected data was done using SAS version 9.4 using ANOVA a...
