Abstract
Abstract In late summer 1971 ‘eye spot’ disease caused by {Kabatiella zeae} was identified in maize crops at Timaru and Lincoln in the South Island and at Gisborne and South Auckland districts in the North Island of New Zealand. Disease symptoms, morphology, and classification of the fungus are discussed. Laboratory and field trials have shown that in New Zealand a number of the commercially grown hybrids of dent maize and sweet corn tire susceptible to the disease. As the genus Kabatiella is treated as a synonym of Aureobasidium, the new combination Aureobasidium zeae (Narita & Hiratsuka) nov. comb, is proposed.
