The native forest specie Cedrela fissilis Vell. had its population reduced because of the extraction of its wood. The worry of its extinction has been favoring researches related with the specie perpetuation, including those which involve seeds quality. However, there is little knowledge about the pathogens which could contribute to the low germination or other problems in adult individuals. This research has the objective to evaluate the physiological and sanitary quality of C. fissilis seeds, from different places of the south of Brazil. The vigor was evaluated with different tests, the sanitary with two methods of detection and transmission of fungi by seeds, pathogenicity of fungi isolated from the seeds and seeds treatment. The vigor tests showed that the seeds from different places had different physiological potentials. Both of detection methods were efficient to identify the most of the fungi found in the seeds. Some of the fungi were identified on high incidences and in both tests: Penicillium sp., Pestalotia sp., Phomopsis sp. and Rhizoctonia sp. This last one and Fusarium sp. were transmitted by seeds. One of the Rhizoctonia sp. isolates was pathogenic, causing roots rotting, and damping-off. The seeds treatment with garlic extract (Allium sativum) and physical treatment (70°C for 48 hours) could be use to reduce the fungi incidence or to eliminate these, respectively. For the treatment of inoculated and noninoculated seeds with Rhizoctonia sp., the combination of biological (Thichoderma spp.) and chemic treatments was efficient to reduce the incidence of most of fungi, including that which was inoculated in the seeds.
