The knowledge of the main fungi that can compromise the quality of the seeds becomes indispensable in the establishment of areas of cultivation of hybrids of oil palm, in order to avoid a reduction in production and an increase in costs. Thus, the objective was to identify the main fungi associated with intraspecific and interspecific hybrid seeds of oil palm. The hybrid seed lots were submitted to the Blotter Test. The design was completely randomized with 10 repetitions. 22 fungi were detected, divided into saprophytes and potentially pathogenic. These stand out Thielaviopsis sp. and Rhizoctonia sp. as the most frequently found in interspecific and intraspecific hybrid seeds, respectively.
