Alguns fungos sobre sementes de sorgo (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)

Resumo

Vários fungos potencialmente patogênicos foram determinados em sementes de sorgo, com predominância para os gêneros Phyllosticta, Colletotrichum e Fusarium. Não há correlação entre a cor marrom do pericarpo da semente e resistência a Colletotrichum graminicola (Ces.) Wils., conforme sugere BERGQUIST (3).
