Abstract:: Metham sodium or NaMDC is one of the four major soil fumigants that are currently registered for controlling internal decay of wood products in use. Fumigants are used primarily in utility poles but are also applied to piling, timbers and other large wood members. NaMDC must decompose to fungitoxic compounds...

Creator:: Kreber, Bernhard
Abstract:: The potential of 9 bacterial and 6 fungal isolates to protect wood against wood staining microorganisms was studied using small sapwood samples of unseasoned Ponderosa pine [Pinus ponderosa Laws] sapwood. Bacillus subtilis Cohn, isolate 733 A , Gliocladium virens J.H. Miller, J.E. Giddens & A.A. Foster isolate H 3 and...

Abstract:: The moulding and millwork industry consumes large quantities of shop grade lumber which is becoming less plentiful and of a lower quality. This fact has compelled industry to explore the use of new technology to increase product yield. One prospect for increasing yield is the application of thin-kerf sawing technology....

Abstract:: The biocontrol potential of Trichoderma harzianum strains B-2A, B-8A, B-4B, B-15B, and B-41 and Serratia plymuthica was evaluated using agar plates and wood wafers of unseasoned ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa laws). All five isolates of Trichoderma harzianum and Serratia plymuthica could inhibit stain fungi growth in agar plates and exhibited...

Creator:: Gimenez, Ramon Gonzalez
Abstract:: Ultrasonic wave attenuation and velocity in the transverse direction were used to detect defects in ponderosa pine (Pinus Ponderosa) lumber previously dried from green to 9% moisture content. After ultrasonic testing the boards were visually inspected for defects and classified according to the defects present. An ANOVA with Bonferroni pairwise...

Creator:: Cui, Li
Abstract:: Biological stain (blue stain) reduces wood value and prevents its use in many structural applications. Increasing environmental concerns have restricted the chemicals available for controlling this damage. As a result, biological control has received more interest. The application of these systems to wood has been limited due to their inability...
