With the objective of finding an alternative control of Fusarium wilt on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), Acibenzolar-S-Methyl (ASM) and beta-Aminobutiric acid (BABA) inductors were sprayed on leaves using different doses and application periods. Two tomato cultivars, Viradoro and IPA-6 were used in the study. An evaluation of external symptoms was done weekly and the final evaluation was carried out until 43 days after inoculation by looking at both the inside and outside of the stem, using two note scales. For IPA-6, the best treatment was with BABA, five days before inoculation.
