O teste de sanidade das sementes foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade sanitária das sementes de sorgo. O material genético utilizado era formado por 11 linhagens e quatro híbridos de sorgo granífero. Observou-se que as linhagens/híbridos tiveram comportamento diferenciado quanto à incidência de patógenos nas sementes. Os períodos de colheita e as condições ambientais devem ter sido suficientes para alterar, significativamente, as frequências de patógenos associados as sementes das amostras analisadas.A sanitary test of seeds was realized with the purpose of evaluating the quality of sorghum seeds. The genetic material was formed by eleven lines and four hybrids of different cycles. It was observed that the lines/hybrids had different behaviour in relation to the incidence of the pathogens. The periods of harvest and the environmental conditions must have been sufflcient to change significantly the frequency of the associated pathogens in the analyzed samples.
