Observations on the colonization of freshly-felled timber treated with prophylactic chemicals by mould and sapstain fungi
IRG/WP 1394
G R Williams, D A Lewis
Field tests using freshly felled pine sapwood were set up to determine the effectiveness of a range of antisapstain compounds and to study the problems of colonization by mould and sapstain fungi. Differences were recorded both in the overall performance of the compounds and also their selectivity in controlling specific fungal types. These results were found to be useful in gaining a better understanding of biocide - fungal interactions.
