Title Statement Resistance of thermally modified malapapaya [Polyscias nodosa (Blume) Seem.] wood against wood-destroying termites by Juanito P Jimenez, Jr., Carlos M. Garcia Physical Description 45-52 graphs, tables Summary, Etc.      The study aimed to determine and classify the resistance to termites of thermally modified (TM) malapapaya [Polyscias nodosa (Blume) Seem.] wood under laboratory conditions.      The evaluation was conducted following the standard procedures, i.e., drum and petri dish test methods. Resistance of TM and untreated wood (UW) was based on the volume of wood consumed by termites.      TM malapapaya wood was not resistant to the subterranean termite Microcerotermes losbañosensis Oshima. Degree of termite damage was comparable to the UW at 74 to 100%. Termites preferred to feed on both TM wood subjected to lower temperatures and UW. Slightly delayed feeding was observed on wood blocks exposed to higher temperatures and longer treatment.      Evaluation on the resistance of TM wood to the drywood termite Cryptotermes dudleyi was still inconclusive after six months of test.
