The diffraction mechanism is introduced in the string fusion model. In this model, the fluctuations in the number of interacting partons go to zero as energy increases, implying that the main contribution to diffraction comes from the diffractive part of the renormalized elementary amplitude. The experimental data on total, elastic, and diffractive cross sections, in the range 20 GeV[le] [radical][ital s] [le]1.8 TeV, are reproduced for reasonable values of the parameters in the model.
