| This research had as main objectives the evaluation of cedar’s seeds seed-borne fungi and the Fusariumsp. and Pestalotia sp. pathogenicities. For the fungi detection Potato Dextrose and Agar medium and Blottertest 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. doi: 10.4336/2009.pfb.58.81 |
