This protocol can help those involved in the watermelon community evaluate the fusarium wilt pathogen, and this will help determine the pathogen populations that are present and help manage it effectively. Race-typing fusarium wilt is complex and

Managing Fusarium wilt of watermelon requires knowledge of the pathogen races present. Here, we describe the root-dip, infested kernel seeding, and modified tray-dip inoculation methods to demonstrate their efficacy in race-typing of the pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp niveum (Fon).
