The relation between fumonisin production and the mating population and mating type of Fusarium isolates from maize in Argentina at different maturity stages was evaluated. Fifty one isolates of Fusarium species belonging to the Liseola section were identified to mating population and tested for their ability to produce fumonisin B1 (FB1) FB2 and FB3. Only mating populations associated with maize, A (Fusarium moniliforme), D (F.proliferatum) and E (F. subglutinans) were found. All but two isolates of populations A and D produced high levels of fumonisins ranging from .01-3.99 g/kg, whereas isolates of population E yelded less than 0.02 g/kg. Five isolates of F. proliferation, all belonging to mating type D, produced more FB2 than FB1 . Amounts of FB3 were similar to FB2 in cultures of mating population A, but much lower than FB2 in cultures of mating population D.
