Rotate crops. The fusarium fungus can survive indefinitely in the soil. Plant tomatoes no more than once every four years in the same spot. Avoid planting other Solanaceous crops (potato, pepper, and eggplant) in the same area, too – they are susceptible to the fungus.

Melon Disease Resistance Seeds

Diva: Fusarium Wilt Race 0, 1 or 2
Sarah’s Choice (F1): Fusarium Wilt Race 0, 1 or 2, Powdery Mildew
One thing I noticed in that Clemson University link I sent you that ones with tolerance for RNK are

Big Beef, Better Boy, Jetsetter, Mountain Merit

for all 3 races of fusarium

BHN 640. This one I have seen mentioned before and think it is the one I wondered if anybody else had tried yet.

Crista
Top Gun
Tasti-Lee
Charger
Solar

I know there a few folks here that growing or grown Mountain Merit. I think somebody here was growing or offering seeds of Tasti-Lee at one time. I know I have commercial seeds of Better Boy I can send you to try and see what it does in your area against all three fusarium races.

There only one disease that scares me and that is Sclerotia. To me it the nastiest of everything out there.
