Abstract

decay Douglas-fir fumigant pilodyn preservative pastes Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco
The capacity of groundline preservative pastes and fumigants to protect untreated Douglas-fir pole sections was evaluated over a 10-year period. Culturing of increment cores and closed-tube bioassays indicate that combinations of preservative pastes and fumigants applied at the groundline provide reasonable protection to the groundline zone, but do not completely protect the aboveground zone. In the absence of an oil-treated Shell, rapid fumigant loss occurs, which suggests that more frequent fumigant applications may be necessary to protect untreated wood.
