Abstract

Natural resistance of three species of Indian woods, namely, 'axle-wood', 'mahua' and 'teak', to Microcerotermes beesoni, a subterranean termite species, has been discussed. Techniques of sampling of wood, culturing of termites and testing of resistance of wood to termites have been given in detail. The heartwood of'mahua' and 'teak' may be classed as very resistant to termites while wood of 'axle-wood' is only moderately resistant to termites.
