Effectiveness of some microbiocides against the development of molds and sapstain in Pinus elliottii

IRG/WP 3169

S Milano

Eleven commercial biocidal formulations were tested in the field to determine their effectiveness in protecting logs and lumber of Pinus elliottii sapwood from sap stain and molds. Among these formulations 2-(thiocyanomethylthio) benzothiazole showed the best performance in controlling both types of fungi. Potassium N-hydroxymethyl-N-methyl dithiocarbamate and the mixture potassium N-methyl dithiocarbamate plus ethylenediamine plus disodium cyanodithioymide-carbonate showed good effectiveness against sap stain fungi but failed to prevent mold growth.
