Abstract
We discuss single top quark production via u^i+\bar d^j \to t+\bar b at the Fermilab
Tevatron in the minimal supersymmetric model with R-parity violation. We find that
within the allowed range of coupling constants, the lepton-number violating couplings
can give rise to observable effects when the slepton mass lies in a specific narrow
range. For the baryon-number violating couplings, the contribution to the production
rate can be quite large in the presently allowed range of the coupling constants.
We show that the measurement of single top production at the upgraded Tevatron can
be used to constrain a linear combination of products of the R-parity violating couplings.
