USE OF A SHORT SPAN FIELD TEST TO EVALUATE TERMITE RESISTANCE OF EUCALYPTUS GRANDIS AND BOBGUNNIA MADAGASCARIENSIS IN A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT

USE OF A SHORT SPAN FIELD TEST TO EVALUATE TERMITE RESISTANCE OF EUCALYPTUS GRANDIS AND BOBGUNNIA MADAGASCARIENSIS IN A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT

Despite being treated with preservatives, the service life of transmission poles and fence posts in the Zambian Copperbelt province is close to fifteen years. However, the service life is only two years for untreated timber, mainly due to termite damage. This short service life is exerting more pres...
