The experiment was conducted to investigate the resistant level of tomato accessions to Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f sp.Lycopersici. The experiment was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) consisting of 3 treatments with 3 replicates. Ten accessions were inoculated with samples of fungal strain 1 and strain 2 using Drenching method into the soil. Plant performance was based on plant height, number of leaves number of branches and number of tomato fruits. Disease assessment was based on disease severity, incidence and number of days for 50% wilt. The result obtained from the experiment shows that different variety has different resistant level to the disease which was evident in the plant height and number of fruits produced.NG/MRIMA Y/09/006 is resistant to strain 1 and susceptible to strain 2 of the Fusarium been inoculated into it and was able to produce the high number of fruits. This study could therefore suggest N GIM RIMA Y109/006 which has minimum mean severity (36.03%) and could produce reasonable number of fruit under the Fusarium wilt infection.
