...alien species related to hardwood packing substances have been remarkable tree destroyers in the urban and semi-urban areas of China. In forests flora and fauna inhabitant species take action against disturbances, for instance fires in addition to windstorms, and start the bio-worsening of woody tissue. The females lay eggs on the bark surface of the stems and branches of trees as a result rotten woody plants. The larval beetles characteristically feed ...

...stify;"> Semi-hardwood cuttings of olive (Olea europea) variety Coratina with 2–4 leaves and 15–18 cm in length were obtained from existing progeny in an orchard of Arid Zone Research Centre (AZRC), Quetta, Pakistan. The basal portion of these cuttings were treated with 3000, 4000 and 5000 ppm IBA solution for 3- 4 seconds. The treated cuttings were immediately planted in polyethylene tubes (10 cm x 20 cm) filled with a sandy loam soil. ...

... rooting ability of semi-hardwood cuttings through application of different separate and combined concentrations of indole butyric acid (IBA), urea phosphate (UP) and paclobutrazol (PB). These chemicals were evaluated under seven treatments in controlled greenhouse environment and tested for different rooting parameters. The results obtained showed significant effect on rooting ability of the cuttings. The appealing results obtained at T6 (IBA+UP+PB) where max...

Six treatments of IBA (1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000ppm) and one with control (without IBA) were applied at base of hardwood cuttings (6mmØ) of different litchi cultivars. Statistically analyzed data showed that root induction, root growth and survival of rooted cuttings was significantly influenced by IBA concentrations, litchi cultivars and their interaction at p<0...

... of abundance of various hardwood species which would be regarded as fine sources of pulp and paper production. There is a dire need for pulp and paper industry of Pakistan to find out locally available potential sources of raw material for pulp and paper production. This would be helpful to reduce imports and provide economic incentive to industrial and forestry sector of Pakistan. This study investigates the relationships between fiber characteristics (such ...

For this purpose, wood samples were collected from local depots and wood fibers from each species were separated adopting standard laboratory procedures. Results showed that Walnut (Juglans regia) fibers were comparatively longer in llength followed by Pohu (Parotia jacouemontiana), Mulberry (Morus alba), Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia),...

...ural durability of eight hardwood species against a white rot fungus Ganoderma lucidum. For this purpose wooden blocks (4.5x2.5x1.5cm) prepared from each species were infested with fungus for 120 days. The endurance was calculated based on the mean percentage of weight loss of the wooden blocks. Results revealed that Sapindus mukorossi was most subjected to decay with a maximum average weight loss whereas the maximum natural resistance was found ...
