| Abstract: | Small samples of 28 tropical timbers were tested with the dry-wood termite Cryptotermes cynocephalus and the subterranean termite Coptotermes curvignathus using several methods of testing. The results revealed that four among 28 species of wood were completely durable to the two species of termite. They are Dalbergia latifolia, Eusideroxylon zwageri, Intsia bijuga and Tectona grandis. Agathis alba, Dipterocarpus spp. and Mangifera spp. were classified as the most susceptible wood species to termites. |
