| Summary: | Acacia mangium Willd., a major exotic timber species used
in the Compensatory Forest Plantation Program for the
product ion of saw logs, was found to be infected by heart
rot. To evaluate the incidence and severity of heart rot in A. mangium plantations, a study consisted of laboratory
investigations and field surveys was conducted. The
laboratory studies include isolation of fungi from
infected tree, determination of wood density, microscopic
observations, and chemical wood analyses. Field surveys were
conducted at five plantations, namely Rantau Panjang Forest
Reserve (RPFR), Bukit Tarek Forest Reserve (BTFR),
Kemasul Forest Reserve (KFR), Setul Forest Reserve (SFR),
and Ulu Sedili Forest Reserve (USFR). |
