| Summary: | There are many benefits of Sunflower such as for food, industry, animal food, ornamental plants, medicinal plants and oil-producing plants. One of the most important adverse diseases up to 45% is wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum. This study is aimed to determine the survival rate of some sunflower accessions against wilt disease caused by F. oxysporum pathogens. The research was conducted from April to August 2016 in a laboratory and a gauze house of Plant Diseases, Indonesian Sweetener and Fiber Crops Research Institute by using Randomized Block Design with 20 accessions as three times repeated treatment, each replication for 40 plants/tub. Inoculation by spraying the pathogen suspension of F. oxysporum as much as 100 ml with a density of 105 / ml on plants aged 7 days. The observations included the incubation period, disease progression and the severity of the disease. The result showed three accessions resistant to F. oxysporum were accession Ha. 7, Ha. 29, Ha. 52 with attack percentage on each are 5, 9, and 10%.
