DIAGNOSIS OF SOME PATHOGENIC FUNGI ON SELECTED LOCAL WOODS

Abstract

ABSTRACT To explore the durability of some local species of wood to fungal deterioration among the storage period, this research has conducted on three species Eufcalyptus cammaldulensis, Juglans regia, presence of some genus of fungi; Aspergillus, Penicillium,Botryoderma, Chaetomium, Phoma, Cladosporium and Pacilomyces in different intensities. The two fungi Aspergillus and Penicillium appeared more dominants than others, therefore they were chosen for the pathogenicity test. The results showed that the two species of fungi preferred Juglans wood firstly were the size of infection was more than 10 times of any of the other two woods. Eucalyptus showed similar response to that of Morus, but with Aspergillus it was few better.
