NATURAL DECAY RESISTANCE OF 30 PERUVIAN WOODS.
Abstract
Thirty Peruvian species of possible commercial significance were evaluated by soil-block testing for resistance to decay fungi. The tests indicated that 25 percent of the species would be resistant or highly resistant for use in contact with the ground and that 50 percent of the species would be resistant or highly resistant for use above ground. Decay resistance was found to be substantially correlated with the specific gravity of the various species. (Author)
