IRG soft-rot stake test - Site 03 Australia. Progress Report No. 3

IRG/WP 3202

L E Leightley, R S Johnstone

The performance of test stakes was examined after four (4) years. Hardwood stakes treated with CCA showed significant soft-rot attack. The exception to this was Alstonia scholaris which was similar in performance to Pinus sylvestris. A supplementary test containing stakes treated with CBC, PCP and creosote, showed attack in all hardwoods examined. Little decay was found in stakes of Pinus sylvestris treated to low retention levels of CBC.
