Jones, S.C.; Carter, F.L.; Mauldin, J.K. 1983. Reti-
culitermes flavipes Kollar (Isoterpa: rhinotermitiidae) re-
sponses to extracts from six Brazilian woods. Environmen-
tal Entomology. 12(2):458-462.
Describes tests of extractives from six Brasilian hardwoods
as anti-termitic agents. The tests were conducted in Mississippi
on the termite Reticulitermes flavipes (Koll.) during
a four-week period in no-choice tests. The success of the
extracts varied with the species from which they were extracted
and the solvent used for extraction. Termite feeding
and survival was lowest on Copaifera multijuga, Mezilaurus
itauba, and Platymiscium ulei, and highest on Couroupita
subsessilis and on some extracts of Micrandra siphonioides.
Where termites survived the no-choice test, protozoan numbers
were reduced most on all extracts of Carapa guianensis
and the hexane extracts of Mezilaurus itaubi and P. ulei.
Termites exposed to choice tests generally consumed more
untreated than treated paper pads. No significant difference
occured between pad weights of controls and those treated
with some extracts of Couroupita subsessilis and Micrandra
siphonioides. One to three extracts of each of the six woods
were repellent to termites.

of four Chilean wood species in relation to site and wood
properties (Uber die Trankbarkeit von vier chilenischen
Holzarten in Abhangigkeit von Standort und Holzeigenschaften).
Holz als Roh- und Werkstoff. 39(8):335-340.
Describes an impregnation study of four important Chilean
hardwoods: Aextoxicon punctatum, Eucryphia cordifolia,
Laurelia philippiana, and Nothofagus dombeyi, from three
different sites. Treatments used were the vacuum-pressure
process with aniline blue and with a cold water-borne
preservative and hot creosote. The distribution of treat-
ment in all directions in the wood samples was analyzed
within and between species. Site effects were noted only
with L. philippiana. Retention in heartwood was affected
by extractives in the wood.

40(8):307-310.
Describes tests conducted to evaluate the natural durability
of Aextoxicon punctatum, Eucryphia cordifolia, Laurelia
philippiana, and Nothofagus dombeyi. All species had low
durability against the fungi: Coniophora puteana, Coriolus
versicolor, and Gloeophyllum trabeum.

Describes current preservation practices in Brazil. Notes
that current methods used for some purposes are inade-
quate and often improperly applied, or the methods used
are too sophisticated and expensive. The recommendation
is made that better methods be developed and introduced
for local conditions.

Describes preservation of Eucalyptus saligna fence posts
by the double-diffusion process in Brazil. The posts were
tested at five different test locations in Sao Paulo, showing
a service life of 11.2 years for CuSO4-KCr2 at 10.5 kg/m 3
retention, and 14.3 years for CuSO4-Na mono-H arsenate at
7.1 kg/m 3 retention.
