Fusarium race 4 tolerance screenings of cultivars have been conducted in both naturally-infested field conditions and in inoculated greenhouse conditions. Symptomology and some components of rating methods used to evaluate severity of infections under inoculation under greenhouse container-grown plant conditions differ from observed symptoms and ratings under field conditions, and these differences will be summarized. Impacts of planting date and prevailing soil/air temperature conditions during early plant development on disease severity ratings and mortality in field conditions will be discussed.
