RESUMO

Some seed samples of native plants from forestry, cerrado and savannas which are currently employed for the confection of handcrafts from several brazilian regions were valued as far as the phytosanitary aspects are concerned. The fungi overview and identification associated to the seeds as well as their symptoms were accomplished. Techniques of superficial de-infections and natural treatment with appropriate vegetable oil solutions extracted from tree essences were used to the control of fungi studied in the current work. Seeds of Euterpe oleraceae, E. precatoria var. precatoria, Dipterix alata, Orbignya phalerata, Phytelephas macrocarpa, Socratea exorrhiza, Hymenaea courbaril L. var. stilbocarpa, Leucaena leucocephala, Schefflera morototoni, Astrocaryum faranae, Sapindus saponaria, Ipomoea pes-caprae, Caesalpinia peltophoroides, Heliconia metallica, Cyperus rotundus and Astrocaryum aculeatum, have shown themselves naturally infected with a significant range of fungi. The most frequent fungi associated to the seeds were Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus spp., Cladosporium sp., Chaetomium sp., Botryodiplodia sp., Epicoccum sp., Eurotium sp., Fusarium sp., Monilia sp., Nigrospora sphaerica, Penicillium sp., Pestalotiopsis sp., Phialophora sp., Rhizoctonia sp., Rhizopus sp., Syncephalastrum sp. e Verticillium sp. The damages caused by these fungi have been associated to deformations, necrotic spots and soft rotten as well as partial or total decay of seeds. The treatment we propose here was accomplished with the natural oils solution and it has been shown that the proposed technique is very efficient in the control of all the fungi for the complete eradication of them.
