Interactions of the fumigant methylisothiocyanate with Douglas-fir wood and their influence on fumigant effectiveness

Creator:

Abstract:

Experiments investigated how the fumigant methylisothiocyanate (MIT), Douglas-fir wood at various moisture contents (MC), and the wood decay fungus Poria carbonica Overh., interacted to govern overall fumigant effectiveness. MIT decomposed in wood to form non-MIT residues at rates of about 0.16%, 0.9%, and 1.6% of the total bound MIT per...
