Wood Preservation-Fungi and Insects
Natural resistance to decay and insects, chemical treat-
ments, (including fire-retardant treatments), preserva-
tion techniques, mycology, and entomology.
Abalos-R., M. 1988. The preservation industry in Chile
(La industria de impregnation en Chile). Ciencia e Investi-
gacion Forestal. 3: 121-134.
Describes the current status of the wood preservation in-
dustry, installed capacity, and production by regions in
Chile. Chilean production is compared to that in other
countries, and to the potential that could exist in the coun-
try. Uses of preserved wood products are discussed in-
cluding construction wood, transmission poles, agricultural
posts, railroad ties, furniture, and other products.

Alvarez, A. 1988. Evaluation of the biological resistance
of woods impregnated with furfuryl alcohol. Sobre Deriv.
Cana Azucar. 22(1):30-34.
Describes the impregnation of wood with furfuryl alco-
hol and the resulting improvement of physical qualities of
wood. Results showed a 30 to 40 percent increase in physi-
cal properties and resistance to fungi. Abies pinsapo and
Pinus caribaea were studied for resistance to two fungi,
Gloephyllum streatum and Cerreana maxima. After 16
weeks, treated A. pinsapo was extremely resistant to G.
streatum and moderately resistant to C. maxima, while
P. caribaea was moderately resistant to both fungi. Con-
trols of both species showed considerable weight loss and
dimensional stability.

Six-, 10-, and 13-year-old posts of Eucalyptus citriodora
and E. paniculata were treated with: creosote; a mixture
of creosote with 1 percent PCP; a mineral oil/5 percent
PCP mixture; with CCA; or left untreated. These posts
were buried and examined after one and two years. Un-
treated posts were heavily damaged by insects and fungi
while treated posts were in good condition but showed
some variation in condition.

Peru. 2(1):22-33.
Many of the trees of the Tingo Maria area could be used
for posts if suitable preservative methods are utilized. Nu-
merous species have been tested and classified according to
their post-treatment resistance.

Describes treatment and analysis of Populus nigra posts
treated with three levels of pentachlorophenol (3,4, and
5 percent) and a control treatment. After 10 years, all
treated posts were still in good condition, but 39 percent
of the control posts were in various stages of decay.

Poplar poles were treated with either 5 percent NaF + 4
percent CuSO4 or 4 percent CuSO4 + 4 percent K2Cr2O7.
Best absorption was obtained with the former, while best
penetration was obtained with the latter. After three years
in the field, there was no difference in the durability of
poles treated with either method, but untreated poles had
been destroyed.
