Ocorrência de fungos em sementes de amendoim (Arachis hypogaea L.) acondicionadas em três embalagens e armazenadas em duas microrregiões do estado da Paraíba.

Abstract

It was made a study of the sanitary quality of peanut seeds stored under ambient conditions, in two microregions of Paraíba State. The treatments were composed of peanut seeds in and out of the fruit, three types of containers, in two towns and in six periods of storages. The evaluations of the micoflora were carried out before the storage and every three months, discarding the containers used. The results obtained demonstrated that the seeds stored out of the fruit were more affected by fungi and that there was no influence of the places of storage.
