Verticillium Wilt is a wilt disease of over 300 species of eudicot plants caused by one of three species of Verticillium genus, V. dahliae, V. albo-atrum and V. longisporum. Many economically important plants are susceptible including cotton, tomatoes, potatoes, oilseed rape, eggplants, peppers and ornamentals, as well as others in natural vegetation communities. Many eudicot species and cultivars are resistant to the disease and all monocots, gymnosperms and ferns are immune. Symptoms are superficially similar to Fusarium wilts. There is no chemical control for the disease but crop rotation, the use of resistant varieties and deep plowing, may be useful in reducing the spread and impact of the disease. Wikipedia [ - ]
