Summary: ABSTRACTCreole seeds can be defined as those traditional varieties of plants cultivated and adapted to the places WHERE they have developed for many years. They constitute an important way of recovering and preserving the genetic base of many species of cultivated plants. The precarious storage conditions of creole seeds can contribute to the occurrence of fungi. These organisms are able to promote faster deterioration of seeds harvested under storage conditions, so farmers resort to improved seeds and/or seeds treated with chemical fungicides, putting the survival of this genetic heritage stored in vivoat risk. Extensive and repeated application of these synthetic agrochemicals can lead to negative effects such as resistant fungi, environmental and non-target organism contamination. Therefore, they create an impetus for the search for alternative control measures that are naturally safe, such as plant extracts with antifungalpotential. Aroeira and clove basil extracts have demonstrated an inhibitory effect on the growth of post-harvest fungi. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the effects of vegetable extracts in the control of fungi and in the physiological quality of native bean and maize seeds before and after storage.
