SO serious was the damage in both the stored and the fabricated wood Of all but a few desirable species that it became evident that successful utilization and the development Of a bamboo industry depended on the control of this pest.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of bamboo and its susceptibility to the powder post beetle, a destructive pest. The author delves into the factors that influence the beetle's attraction to bamboo, exploring the role of starch concentration, physical properties of the wood, and the impact of harvesting practices. Through experimentation, the author elucidates how moisture content, specific gravity, and season of harvest play a role in beetle infestation. The book also investigates preventive measures, such as curing or seasoning the wood, and the effectiveness of both air drying and water curing. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of clump curing, a technique that involves drying culms upright in the field to reduce starch content and subsequent beetle attack. The insights provided in this book are crucial for understanding the behavior of the powder post beetle and developing effective strategies to protect bamboo from its damaging effects. Woodworkers, conservationists, and anyone interested in the preservation of bamboo will find this work invaluable.
