Effect of the Tobacco Cyst Nematode, Heterodera tabacum, on Severity of Verticillium and Fusarium Wilts of Tomato. P. M. Miller, Department of Plant Pathology and Botany, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, New Haven 06504; Phytopathology 65:81-82. DOI: 10.1094/Phyto-65-81.

In greenhouse studies, the development of Verticillium wilt was more severe in tomatoes growing in soil to which 100 cysts of Heterodera tabacum had been added, than in soil without the nematode. Less Fusarium wilt developed in tomatoes growing in soil containing H. tabacum than in soil without the nematode.
