Resumen
Descripción
The resistance of particleboards, made from wood, bamboo and rice husk, to fungi and termites was evaluated. Panels were composed of 100% wood ( Eucalyptus grandis ), 100% bamboo ( Bambusa vulgaris ), 100% rice husk ( Oryza sativa ), 50% wood and 50% bamboo; and 50% wood and 50% rice husk. Panels exposed to the decay the brownrot fungus ( Gloeophyllum trabeum and the whiterot fungus ( Trametes versicolor ), and, in a choice feeding trial, to termites ( Nasutitermes corniger ). The rice husk particleboards had the highest resistance of all samples and the bamboo particleboards had the lowest resistance. T. versicolor fungi produced a larger mass loss in the particleboards than did G. trabeum.
