Activity of two strobilurin fungicides against three species of decay fungi in agar plate tests

The objective of this study was to examine the toxicity of strobilurin fungicides against wood decay fungi in order to assess their potential to act as a co-biocide for copper-based wood protection. Two strobilurin fungicides, Heritage (50% azoxystrobin active ingredient) and Insignia (20% pyraclostrobin active ingredients), and copper sulfate pentahydrate were tested...

Capacity, production, and manufacture of woodbased panels in the United States and Canada

Structural and nonstructural panel products have constituted the fastest growing segment of the wood products industries over the past two decades. Based on announced plans, growth will accelerate in the next 2 years. The cost of wood fiber used in these processes has been rising. To keep wood costs as low as possible, a growing share of the new production is being...

Profile 2003: softwood sawmills in the United States and Canada

About 160 fewer softwood sawmills are operating in the United States and Canada than were 8 years ago. Nevertheless, the combined capacity of the remaining mills has increased by 16%, to over 173 million cubic meters. Of the approximately 1,140 mills, about 470 characterize their output as dimension lumber, accounting for 67% of capacity; 136 list studs as their...

North America's wood pellet sector

The North American wood pellet sector is profiled in this paper. A small pellet industry has existed since the 1930s, but its main growth occurred in the wake of the energy crisis in the 1970s. Its current spurt is even greater, growing from is set to reach 6.2 million in 2009. Most plants are small, relying on sawmill residues for fiber and thus are limited to 100,000...

Estimating the board foot to cubic foot ratio

Certain issues in recent softwood lumber trade negotiations have centered on the method for converting estimates of timber volumes reported in cubic meters to board feet. Such conversions depend on many factors; three of the most important of these are log length, diameter, and taper. Average log diameters vary by region and have declined in the western United States...

Conversion of board foot scaled logs to cubic meters in Washington State, 1970–1998

The conversion factor generally used to convert logs measured in board feet to cubic meters has traditionally been set at 4.53. Because of diminishing old growth, large diameter trees, the average conversion factor has risen, as illustrated in this analysis of Washington state sawmill data over the period 1970?1998. Conversion factors for coastal and interior...

Profile 2005 : softwood sawmills in the United States and Canada

The softwood lumber industry in the United States and Canada consists of about 1,067 sawmills. In 2005 these sawmills had a combined capacity of 189 million m3 (80 × 109 bf). In 2004, they employed about 99,000 people and produced 172 million m3 (nominal) (73.0 × 109 bf) of lumber. In the process, they consumed about 280 million m3 (9.9 × 109 ft3) of timber. Employee...

Survey of candidate genes for maize resistance to infection by Aspergillus flavus and/or aflatoxin contamination

Many projects have identified candidate genes for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation or Aspergillus flavus infection and growth in maize using genetic mapping, genomics, transcriptomics and/or proteomics studies. However, only a small percentage of these candidates have been validated in field conditions, and their relative contribution to...

genome-wide association and metabolic pathway analysis of corn earworm resistance in maize

Maize (Zea mays mays L.) is a staple crop of economic, industrial, and food security importance. Damage to the growing ears by corn earworm [Helicoverpa zea (Boddie)] is a major economic burden and increases secondary fungal infections and mycotoxin levels. To identify biochemical pathways associated with native resistance mechanisms, a genome-wide...

Fungal–copper interactions in wood examined with large field of view synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy

The goal of this study was to demonstrate how synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) can be used to better understand the mechanisms of copper tolerance in wood decay fungi. Copper is a major component in commercial wood preservatives as it is toxic to many wood decay fungi. However, certain fungi are copper tolerant and can attack preservative-treated...

U.S. forest products module : a technical document supporting the Forest Service 2010 RPA Assessment

The U.S. Forest Products Module (USFPM) is a partial market equilibrium model of the U.S. forest sector that operates within the Global Forest Products Model (GFPM) to provide long-range timber market projections in relation to global economic scenarios. USFPM was designed specifically for the 2010 RPA forest assessment, but it is being used also in other applications...

Defeating copper tolerance: an example of how “omics” research can accelerate discovery of new wood protection compounds

Imagine if you could measure all the genes being expressed at any one time in an organism and you knew what all the genes did in a cell. The power of this knowledge would allow you to determine how organisms regulate gene activity to survive. This is the essence of how ?omics? science accelerates biological understanding. From a wood protections standpoint,...
