Efficacy of Xotic Wood Preservative to control termites attack on Pinus patula wood

IRG/WP 18-10915

H Jenya, G Meke

This study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of Xotic Wood Preservative on treated wood. Solignum was the experimental standard. The experiment was laid out in a Randomised Block Design carried out as a graveyard trial with 15 samples, 3 treatments and 5 replicates. The results showed that there was significant difference (P<0.05) in weight of the wood after four months of the graveyard trial. Termite galleries were observed on the untreated wood. From the results of this trial it is apparent that Xotic Wood Preservative may control termite from attacking wood.
