Scope of Parthenium hysterophorus L. and Acorus calamus L. as Biopreservative for Non-durable Wood Timber Species
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
In this study polyporus fungal decay reduction effect was shown on wood samples of Pinus roxburghii Sargent, Celtis australis L. and Bombax ceiba L. by using methanolic extract of Parthenium hysterophorus L and Acorus calamus L. These less durable wood samples were treated with different concentrations (0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%) (w/v) of both extracts. Fungus testing was done on the treated wood samples to evaluate efficacy of taken herbal extracts. Maximum fungus inhibition of 46.24% and 69.45% was found with extract of Parthenium hysterophorus L. and Acorus calamus L at 2% concentration. It was also found that specific gravity increased with increase in concentration with maximum at 2%. Results had showed that both extracts inhibit fungus growth significantly and act as a good wood preservative.
