This paper aims to address the agrobiodiversity conservation techniques practiced in traditional communities. The research was conducted in the community of Quilombo de Murumuru Remnants located in the municipality of Santarém-PA, through direct observation and interviews with eight farmers. Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the main species cultivated in the Amazon and is basically the food of the traditional people. In the quilombo two practices of conservation of seed cranes are used the low and the muffled. The decollete consists in leaving part of the field to compose the next one and its purpose is the production of manioc and cassava, while the stifled consists in keeping the seed cranes out of the production area by drowning them with leaves or not under the forest. Given the scenario of major changes in agricultural systems, quilombolas use these two practices as conservation strategies for their agrobiodiversity to maintain the diversity of their agricultural systems, the family economy and, especially, traditional quilombola knowledge.
