Abstract
Soil treatment using solarization and amendment with ground clove (Syzygium aromaticaum) was carried out in a screen house experiment to control Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Lycopersici. The study evaluated two thickness of clear polyethene plastic, two concentrations of ground clove as well as a combination of the treatments. Colony counts for F. oxysporum were carried out for samples from all treatments and the highest count of 1.8 x 105 cfu/g was observed from the control. There was a reduction in the colony over the eight week period.
