KETAHANAN LIMA JENIS KAYU TERHADAP TIGABELAS JAMUR PERUSAK KAYU

Abstract

The resistance of five wood species originated from West Java against 13 wood destroying fungi were evaluated using DIN 52176-modified standard. Wood samples were divided into two groups based on their radial surfaces, namely outer and inner parts of logs. Results showed that marasi wood (Hymenaea courbaril L.), was moderately resistant against 13 fungal attacks (Class III). Meanwhile, asam jawa (Tamarindus indica L.), balobo (Diplodiscus sp. (?), kundang (Ficus variegata Bl.) and kendal (Ehretia accuminata R. Br.) were not resistant (Class IV).
