Efektifitas Bahan Pengawet Dari Asap Cair Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis guineensis) Terhadap Serangan Rayap (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren) Pada Kayu Pulai (Alstonia scholaris)
Abstract: Pulai wood have
economic value, while durable grade is V and powerful class is IV-V and it is
low-grade durable, because of that it is needed preservation on Pulai wood.
Many Preservation using chemicals that are harmful to environment and humans.
In utilizing natural ingredients derived from plants as safer alternative
preservatives for environment and humans, it can be renewable for preserving
wood from invading organisms wood destroying, especially termites. Materials
used as a preservative is liquid smoke empty fruit bunches of oil palm. The
aims of this research are to determine termite mortality, retention, weight
lose, and water content as well as know the effectiveness of the provision of
liquid smoke on Pulai wood preservation against termite attack. The methods
used in this research is (RAL), the concentration of liquid smoke oil palm
empty fruit bunches of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% with 5 replications for three
weeks is fed on termites. The results showed that using of preservatives smoke
liquid at concentrations of 30% has a value of lose weight on Pulai wood of
0.00g/cm3 and 100% termite mortality.
