Fusarium wilt of cotton, caused by the fungus, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum Race 4 (FOV4), was confirmed in numerous fields in El Paso and Hudspeth counties in Texas in 2017. Undoubtedly, it was present in those fields for several years, but how the disease entered the area remains unknown. FOV4 was first identified in the United States in a single county of the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) of California in 2003 and has since become widespread across the SJV.

Answer:
Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum, is a major disease of cotton capable of causing significant economic loss. The fungus persists in soil as chlamydospores and in association with the roots of susceptible, resistant and non-cotton hosts as well as in seed.❤️
