Abstract Seed coating is an effective method for delivering beneficial microorganisms to the soil. Additionally, coated seeds are protected against pathogens or microbial contaminants during storage. This work aimed evaluate effect of seed with fungus Trichoderma koningiopsis fungal sweet sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) Sorghum-treated three concentrations were stored at two temperatures (5 °C and 18 °C) over 12 months physiological-, sanitary quality seeds. The most prevalent contaminant fungi Diaporthe melonis , Curvularia lunata Penicillium polinocum monitored. viability was evaluated every correlated variables. results indicate that can protect contamination storage avoiding application a chemical fungicide. procedure did not affect germination
