Natural durability of palmyrah and nibong palm stems

Sittiphuprasert U., . and Wantana Y., . and Rananand A., . (1991) Natural durability of palmyrah and nibong palm stems. [Proceedings Paper]

Field tests on the resistance against marine borers and open field graveyard of nibong and palmyrah were undertaken during July 1988 to November 1990. Marine trials were conducted by exposing the untreated and 3 CCA-treated panels to sea water for a period of 21 months. Inspections were made every 3 months. The graveyard tests were made at 2 sites representing nothern and southern parts of the country. Teak and yang Dipterocarpus alatus were used as reference species. Inspections were made every 6 months. Results of marine trials indicated that the untreated panels of nibong and palmyrah sustained heavy attack after nine months. Of the graveyard tests for the duration of 2 years so far results showed that the durability of nibong and palmyrah was comparable with teak at both sites. There was no apparent difference between decay and termite susceptibility of both species.

Abstract

Field tests on the resistance against marine borers and open field graveyard of nibong and palmyrah were undertaken during July 1988 to November 1990. Marine trials were conducted by exposing the untreated and 3 CCA-treated panels to sea water for a period of 21 months. Inspections were made every 3 months. The graveyard tests were made at 2 sites representing nothern and southern parts of the country. Teak and yang Dipterocarpus alatus were used as reference species. Inspections were made every 6 months. Results of marine trials indicated that the untreated panels of nibong and palmyrah sustained heavy attack after nine months. Of the graveyard tests for the duration of 2 years so far results showed that the durability of nibong and palmyrah was comparable with teak at both sites. There was no apparent difference between decay and termite susceptibility of both species.
