In the present investigations was designed to explore the survival ability of benomyl resistant Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.capsici causing chilli wilt (Capsicum annum) in mixed population. On the untreated chilli plants, resistant population in the mixture was reduced from passage to passage. But on the benomyl treated chilli plants, resistant population was increased from passage to passage. Thus, benomyl treatment to chilli plants imposed such a selection pressure on the population that only resistant population is able to survive at 4th passage indicating it was more fit for its survival in the mixed population.
