  • Decomposition of Basamid in Douglas-fir heartwood

    Creator:
    Forsyth, Paul Griffin
    Abstract:
    Basamid^R (3,5-dimethy1-1,3,5,2H-tetrahydrothiadiazine- 2-thione) is a crystalline powder used as a soil sterilant. This fumigant acts in soil by decomposing to methylisothiocyanate (MITC), the primary active ingredient, as well as hydrogen sulfide, methylamine, and formaldehyde. In wood, Basamid decomposes too slowly to be efficacious against decay fungi unless amended with various...

  • Management of powder-post beetles, Dinoderus minutus F. in freshly cut bamboo

    Creator:
    Garcia, Carlos Manalo
    Abstract:
    The goal of this project was to develop an integrated pest management strategy for the control of a powder-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus F.). This species causes serious damage in Philippine bamboo. Developmental threshold and thermal constants were examined and natural enemies and ftmgi associated with beetles were investigated. Finally, the...
