The Resistance of Some Commercially Thermally Modified American Hardwoods to Termites and Fungi
2022 - IRG/WP 22-40944
Thermally Modified Wood (TMW) is now being produced in the United States but there are few data on the durability of these materials. In this study, commercially-produced thermally modified yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple (Acer rubrum), and white ash (Fraxinus americana) were evaluated for fungal and termite resistance. The resistance of the three TMW species against Gloeophyllu...

Comparison of residual Methylisothiocyanate (MITC) in Australian and South American hardwood and softwood treated with a solid compressed Dazomet fumigant stick
2024 - IRG/WP 24-20712
The efficacy of compressed dazomet sticks with or without a copper-based accelerant for control of internal decay of both softwood and hardwood species was examined in multiple field trials. Effective levels of methylisothiocyanate (MITC), the fungitoxic decomposition product of dazomet were found in Australian spotted gum (Corymbia spp) and Guyanese Wallaba (Eperua falcata) as well as in southern...
