The resistance of experimental and commercial wood preservatives to mould fungi was determined using a method recommended by the Building Research Institute Instruction. The research of the inhibiting actions of the growth of fungi was carried out on the Scots pine wood Pinus sylvestris L. and beech Fagus sylvatica L. The most active compounds against mould were experimental herbicidal ionic liquids and didecyldimethylammonium nitrite. Their activity was comparable to the commercial mixtures of tebuconazole with thiabendazole or with iodopropynyl butylcarbamate.The growth of mycelium on the surface of wood samples was inhibited in the amount of application 15 g m-2.
