Abstrakt: Turcicum leaf blight (TLB) is a common foliar disease of maize in Mexico that is caused by the fungal pathogen Exserohilum turcicum . The most effective management strategy against TLB is monogenic race-specific resistance. Among the 140 E. turcicum isolates from symptomatic leaves collected from maize fields in Mexico, 100 were obtained from tropical (Veracruz) and temperate areas (Estado de México) between 2010 and 2019, and 40 isolates were obtained from tropical (Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, and Chiapas), subtropical (Nayarit, Jalisco, and Guanajuato), and temperate areas (Estado de Mexico, Hidalgo, and Puebla) collected in 2019. All the isolates caused TLB symptoms on the positive control ( ht4 ), showing that they were all pathogenic. Six physiological races of E. turcicum (2, 3, 23, 3N, 23N, and 123N) were identified based on resistant or susceptible responses displayed by five maize differential genotypes (A619 Ht1 , A619 Ht2 , A619 Ht3 , B68 HtN , and A619 ht4 ). The most common was race 23, accounting for 68% of the isolates, followed by races 23N, 123N, 3, 2, and 3N at 15, 8, 6, 2, and 1%, respectively. Race 123N was able to infect the greatest number of maize differential genotypes used in the study. Race 123N was detected in Sinaloa and Estado de México. Race 3 was detected in Nayarit and Jalisco. Race 2 was detected in Jalisco, Estado de México, and Veracruz, and race 3N was detected in Tamaulipas. Race 23 was equally dominant in the tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions, while race 123N was more common in the tropical environment, and race 23N was more common in the tropical and temperate environments. There was no evidence for shifts in the races between 2010 and 2019.
