Control biológico de Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici en tomate

The book "Biological Control of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici in Tomatoes" offers a comprehensive analysis of fusariosis, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, which leads to significant crop losses in tomato plants. Particularly during dry seasons, this fungus can reduce yields by up to 60% and has led to the complete abandonment of cultivation areas in some regions of Venezuela. The authors emphasize the need for an integrated approach to combat this disease, which includes not only resistant varieties and crop rotation but also cultural practices and the rational use of chemicals. The book highlights the importance of biological plant protection to enhance the effectiveness of control strategies and to find sustainable solutions.
