Maize (Zea mays L.) is considered the third in production among the major cereal crops after wheat and rice, therefore it has the highest genetic yield potential. It is one of highly affected crops with diseases. These diseases affect the quantity and quality of grains and re-duce their production which may increase cultivation costs. Diseases affecting maize caused about 9% loss in yield (Khokhar et al., 2014).
Late wilt of maize, caused by Cephalosporium maydis, is the most eco-nomically important fungal disease of maize in Egypt (El-Shafey and Claflin, 1999). This disease was discovered in Egypt for the first time in 1960 (Sabet et al., 1961) and spread rapidly since its discovery and is now considered endemic throughout Egypt
