At hadron colliders the dominant production mechanism of $(\bar bc)$ mesonswith large transverse momentum is due to parton fragmentation. We compute therates and transverse momentum spectra for production of S-wave and P-wave$(\bar b c)$ mesons at the Tevatron via the direct fragmentation of the bottomantiquark as well as the Altarelli-Parisi induced gluon fragmentation. Sinceall the radially and orbitally excited $(\bar b c)$ mesons below the $BD$flavor threshold will cascade into the pseudoscalar ground state $B_c$ throughelectromagnetic and/or hadronic transitions, they all contribute to theinclusive production of $B_c$. The contributions of the excited S-wave andP-wave states to the inclusive production of $B_c$ are 58 and 23\%,respectively, and hence significant.Comment: Changes are made in the Discussio
