Abstract
In this study we have examined maize samples from 10 different locations across Kerbala, Babylon and Al-Najaf provinces which are located in the middle region of Iraq. 10 species belongs to five genera including Deuteromycetes, Zygomycetes and Ascomycetes were present. Among those, Fusarium Spp. was isolated from 14% of the samples. Other genera such as Aspergillus appeared more dominantly with 62% then Rhizopus second with 16% while other genera, Penicillium and Mucor, occurrence rate was 6% and 2%, respectively.
