Termite attack on some selected wood samples in bende L.G.A of Abia state, Nigeria:- IJioma linda. N.
ABSTRACT
Wood samples from ten ( 10) typical timber
trees known to grow at the forestry research institute experimental plot in
Bende L.G.A. were , experimentally subjected to termite attack in order to test
their degrees of vulnerability. The wood samples were weighed before and after
the experiment. Of these, two samples were most resistant to termite attack
namely; Tectona grandis (Teak) and Meliesae excelsa (Iroko), six were . .
moderately resistant and registered weight losses ranging from 0.40 0.92 (g)
while two types of wood, Triplochiton scleroxylon (Obeche) and Callitropsis
nootkatensis (yellow cedar) proved least resistant to termite attack, their
weight losses being 1.98g for T'riplochiton scleroxylon and .59g for
Callitropsis nootkatensis. The weight losses amounted to 25.58% and 20.54%
respectively.
