Cinnamon tree (cinnamomum cassia) found in reveral regions of Vietnam from the North to the south. Nowadays this species is widely propagated by seeds. But cinnamon seed is rich in essential oil difficult to be stored. The germination rate of freshly collected seeds is rather high (92,5 percent), but strongly correlated with moisture content seeds stored at low temperature (5oC ) and moisture content greater than 40 percent maintained a high percentage of viability for up to 9 months. During storage time moisture content is raising, due to which fungi is also developed. It seems to be un effective to use bellat for controlling the fungi. The subject should be further investigated.
