Soft rot decay of 23 CCA-treated hardwoods from Sabah, Malaysia, in ground contact in Australia

IRG/WP 1280

R S Johnstone

The performance against soft rot decay of 23 CCA-treated hardwoods from Sabah, Malaysia, was examined after 20 months in ground contact at Pennant Hills, Australia. The results indicate that between these species soft rot decay is excluded by different levels of CCA salt suggesting that the threshold level for exclusion of soft rot in these hardwoods is a function of anatomical structure/ultrastructure.
