Decay fungi

The best protection for wood against the attack of decay fungi, insects, or marine borers is obtained by applying preservatives under pressure before installation (61,62). Both oil-type preservatives, such as creosote or petroleum solutions of pentachlorophenol, and waterborne preservatives, such as copper-chrome arsenate and ammoniacal-copper arsenate, are used when wood is to be in direct contact with the ground or in the marine environments. [Pg.330]

In some species, however, e.g. ash, Fraxinus excelsior, cells of the traumatic axial parenchyma of the compartmentalization wall 4 may show no evidence of cell wall alterations, yet appear to act normally as a functional barrier to decay (Pearce, R.B., unpublished data). It is to be presumed that the spread of decay fungi is arrested either by chemical defences or by environmental constraints (cf. 26-28) in such species. Clearly, a contribution may be made by these defences in suberizing species also phytoalexin-like antifungal compounds have been detected in association with a suberized wall 4 barrier in Acer saccharinum (42). More work will be required to elucidate the long-term effectiveness of the various mechanisms maintaining the function of these barrier walls. [Pg.356]

To prevent growth of wood-inhabiting fungi it is customary to treat wood with chemicals which are toxic to fungi. To pro-tect wood in service from deterioration by decay fungi, the chemicals, called wood preservatives, are applied in most cases by pressure treatment because deep penetration into the wood is essential. Wood products intended for use where the decay hazard is low are unlikely to require pressure treatment but in many instances may require superficial fungicidal treatment to prevent fungal discoloration. [Pg.32]
