The main objectives of this work were to identify the causal agent of the maize White Spot, to obtain preliminary information on the disease dispersal in the field and to characterize the reaction of maize hybrids and inbreds to the disease. For the etiological studies, isolations were performed from white spot lesions the anasarca phase, resulting in the development of bacterial colonies. Maize hybrids BRS2022, BRS1010, 1D2195, BRS1040, BRS1035, BRS1031, BRS3025, BRS1030, 2B710 e P30F35 and inbred lines L3, L228-3, 521274, 521236 e 262841-1-4-1 were evaluated under natural epidemic in a randomized block design with three replications. Cultivars were planted in single row plots, separated by two rows of the resistant hybrid BRS1010. Spreader rows were formed by planting the susceptible genotype DAS657 0,5 m apart and in front of each block. Disease severity was evaluated at a weekly internal starting 60 days after planting, through a 1 to 9 scale of disease severity where 1= no disease and 9= 100% of leaf area affected. Ratings were taken at three different locations within each plot: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 meters inoculum source. Data were used for the calculation of the area under disease progress curve (AUDPC), disease severity at 50% of epidemic development (Y50), disease severity at the end of the epidemic, and the rate of disease progress. Inoculations on the susceptible hybrid DAS657, in the greenhouse, reproduced the typical symptoms of the disease. Re-isolations from theses lesions confirmed the presence of the same bacteria isolated from the field, which identified as Pantoea ananatis, confirming previous reports on the involvement of this bacteria in the initial lesions of this disease. No disease gradient was observed based on the disease severity observed in each point of evaluation within each plot. A better distinction between the level of resistance of maize genotypes was obtained through AUDPC and Ymáx values. Maize hybrids BRS1030, BRS1035 and BRS1010 and inbreds L3, and L228-3 were the most resistant genotypes. These inbred lines may be useful in breeding programs for resistance to maize white spot.
