This study aimed to evaluate the quantity and fuel moisture content material deposited in planting of Tectona grandis Linn.F with 20 years in the municipality of Sinop - MT. In the study area were installed five plots of 1 m2 within which collected up all the material above ground. The collected material was separated and weighed according to their type (green or dry) and class (leaf, miscellaneous, and branches 7, 6 cm). 100 g were taken. material from each plot to determine the moisture content in the laboratory after drying in an oven at 75 ° C for 48 hours. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial 2x7 (Type X Class) in 5 repetitions, significant means were compared by Tukey at 5% probability. Found 23.2 t ha-1 of dry combustible material in the area. There was no green material because the light conditions caused the tops of planting. There was a significant difference in the amount of combustible material in each class. Classes leaves and miscellany excelled presenting 8.37 Mg ha-1 and 10.29 t ha-1, respectively. Due to the climatic conditions of the season collects a 65.82% moisture content of the material was found.
