Abstract
Strains of Fusarium moniliforme from maize seed collected in four fiel ds in northeast Mexico were tested for fumonisin production in culture , for sexual compatibility, and for vegetative compatibility by using non-nitrate-utilizing mutants. The test results indicate that a divers e population of fumonisin-producing strains off. moniliforme (Gibberel la fujikuroi) mating population A predominates and that a potential ex ists for production of fumonisins in Mexican maize.
