The present study was undertaken to investigate the inheritance pattern of resistance to Fusarium wilt. Arka Lohit which showed resistance to Fusarium wilt under field conditions as well as artificial epiphytotics was crossed to susceptible but well adapted and high yielding parental lines like Kashmir Long-1 (having moderate to susceptible reaction), SH-C-101 and Local Pampori (both showing highly susceptible reaction to the disease). Resistance to Fusarium wilt was inherited as a monogenic dominant trait.
