Abstract :
In this study polyporus fungal decay reduction effect was shown on wood samples of Pinus roxburghii Sargent, Celtis australis L. and Bombax ceiba L. by using methanolic extract of Parthenium hysterophorus L and Acorus calamus L. These less durable wood samples were treated with different concentrations (0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%) (w/v) of both extracts. Fungus testing was done on the treated wood samples to evaluate efficacy of taken herbal extracts. Maximum fungus inhibition of 46.24% and 69.45% was found with extract of Parthenium hysterophorus L. and Acorus calamus L at 2% concentration. It was also found that specific gravity increased with increase in concentration with maximum at 2%. Results had showed that both extracts inhibit fungus growth significantly and act as a good wood preservative.
