IRG/WP 3386

C De Arana Moncada

This paper describes the preservation with creosote by immersion of fence-post of Pinus sylvestris, Pinus pinea and Pinus radiata. Taking into account the rural use of the fence-post, an easy method available in the field to the agriculturalists. A regressions analysis has been carried out, dealing with the absorption, retentions and penetrations shown after 1, 3 and 7 days of treatment. The greatest absorptions and retrentions were recorded in Pinus radiata, and the smallest in Pinus sylvestris. In the opposite, the penetrations have been quite different: maximal in Pinus sylvestris and minimal in Pinus pinea.
