“…The results of forest seed health obtained in research developed with seed treatment, involving physical methods (Oliveira et al, 2011;Lazarotto et al, 2013;Françoso and Barbedo, 2014;Hennipman et al, 2017), biological methods (Fantinel et al, 2015;Martín-García et al, 2017;Silva et al, 2018) and more recently the use of plant extracts (Choudhury et al, 2018;Dourado et al, 2020;Lima et al, 2020;Almeida et al, 2021;Andrade et al, 2021), have shown some advances in pathogen control. However, studies that seek to increase the storage period, especially of species intolerant to desiccation, despite important advances, have not yet achieved substantial gains, obtaining an extension for a few months or, exceptionally, years (Barbedo, 2018).…”
