Abstract
The effects of pH, copper, alcohol, boron, glucose, or lignin on methylisothiocyanate (MITC) levels associated with Basamid® treatment were studied in Douglas-fir pole sections exposed for 6 years, near Corvallis, Oreg. Most additives had limited effects on MITC levels over the study period. Copper sulfate produced the most consistent increase in MITC levels. This effect was initially enhanced by simultaneous application of pH 12 buffer, but this effect disappeared with time. The results suggest that copper sulfate has the ability to markedly enhance long-term MITC production from Basamid.
