''Manapal'' (resistant to race 1 and susceptible to race 2 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici) and ''Florida MH-1'' (resistant to both races) tomato [Lycopersicon esculentum] seedlings were either rootdip-inoculated with race 1 or 2 and transplanted into soil infested with root knot nematode larvae (Meloidogyne incognita) or inoculated first with root-knot nematodes and 2 wk later with either race 1 or 2. All nematode-inoculated plants were moderately galled. ''Manapal'' seedlings inoculated with race 1 and nematodes did not succumb to Fusarium wilt, but developed severe wilt when inoculated with race 2 with or without nematodes. ''Florida MH-1'' seedlings did not develop Fusarium wilt whether inoculated with race 1 or 2 either with or without nematodes. Root knot nematodes, whether applied simultaneously with the Fusarium inoculum or 2 wk prior to the Fusarium inoculum, did not reduce the resistance of ''Manapal'' to race 1, nor the resistance of ''Florida MH-1'' to race 1 or 2.
