Reburning caused by Phytophthora infestansis is characterized as an aggressive disease of great destructive impact, capable of limiting or even hindering the economic cultivation of the tomato plant under conditions of high humidity and low temperatures. In view of the problems reburning can cause to tomato plant crops, this work aimed to: 1) fit models to describe the progress of the disease and form groups of tomato accesses with similar curves; 2) estimate data referring to the number of days to reach 5% severity of the disease, by means of inverse regression; 3) fit survival curves by means of the Kaplan-Meier estimator for the access groups and compare them by means of the Logrank test;4)fit survival curves by means of probabilistic models and compare these curves with Kaplan Meir´s non-parametric technique. Using tomato reburning real data, it was possible to fit the exponential model (Y = y0 exp (rX)) to describe the disease s progress. The means of the parameter estimates were submitted to grouping analysis using the centroid method, generating 10 access groups. Time up to 5% of the disease was calculated via inverse regression. Non-parametric techniques were used to estimate survival function by means of the Kaplan-Meier´s estimator to compare the survival curves by the Logrank test .The survival function was also fit using the probabilistic models, exponential Weibull and Log-normal, respectively, which were compared by means of the verisimilitude ratio test (VRT), considering the generalized Gamma model, as a general case for these models. The methodology applied allowed fitting the exponential model to describe tomato plant reburning progress and to regroup the accesses studied in the 10 groups. The access BGH-6 obtained a smaller disease progress than the others, thus characterizing its higher resistance to the disease; An inverse regression allowed time estimation up to the occurrence of 5% of the severity of the tomato plant reburning. The Kaplan-Meier ´s non-parametric technique allowed estimating the survival curves of the tomato plant accesses belonging to the groups 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8. Utilizing the Logrank test, it could be concluded that most two-by-two comparisons were significant (p<0.05), except in the comparisons of groups 2x4, 4x8 and 6x8. The use of the probabilistic models, exponential Weibull and Log-normal allowed estimating the survival curves of groups 2, 4, 6 and 8, except for group 4, to which the Weibull model was not adequate. Comparing the probabilistic models with the non-parametric technique, the curves of the probabilistic models of groups 2 and 4 presented satisfactory results, compared to the curve estimated by Kaplan-Meier.
