Description
Summary:&lt;p&gt;This research had as main objectives the evaluation of cedar’s seeds seed-borne fungi and the Fusarium&lt;br /&gt;sp. and Pestalotia sp. pathogenicities. For the fungi detection Potato Dextrose and Agar medium and Blotter&lt;br /&gt;test methods were used. For the pathogenicity tests, isolates of Fusarium sp. and Pestalotia sp. were used. The following fungi were observed: Pestalotia sp., Fusarium sp., Phomopsis sp., Colletotrichum sp., Macrophomina sp. and Cladosporium sp. The fungi observed in the highest frequencies were: Fusarium sp., Phomopsis sp. and Pestalotia sp. A reduction of the germination level was observed in seedlings from cedar’s seed inoculated with Fusarium sp.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;doi: 10.4336/2009.pfb.58.81&lt;/p&gt;<br>&lt;p&gt;Este trabalho teve por objetivos avaliar fungos em sementes de cedro e testar a patogenicidade de Fusarium sp. e Pestalotia sp. Para detecção de fungos, foram utilizados batata-dextrose-ágar e papel filtro. Para o teste de patogenicidade, utilizaram-se isolados de Fusarium sp. e de Pestalotia sp. Foi constatada a presença dos seguintes fungos nas sementes: Pestalotia sp., Fusarium sp., Phomopsis sp., Colletotrichum sp., Macrophomina sp. e Cladosporium sp. Os fungos de maior freqüência foram: Fusarium sp., Phomopsis sp. e Pestalotia sp. Observou-se decréscimo nos valores de emergência das plântulas oriundas das sementes inoculadas com Fusarium sp.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Doi: &lt;span class="tx"&gt;10.4336/2009.pfb.58.81&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
