Title
DAMAGE BY DEFOLIATING INSECTS AND ITS EFFECT ON THE QUALITY OF WOOD FOR CHARCOAL PRODUCTION
ANTONIO JOSÉ VINHA ZANUNCIO; AMÉLIA GUIMARÃES CARVALHO; CARLOS MIGUEL SIMÕES DA SILVA; et al. Cellulose Chemistry and Technology 2021. doi:10.35812/cellulosechemtechnol.2021.55.79
Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Extractives and lignin contents increased in Eucalyptus plants attacked by defoliating insects compared with healthy plants.
- Intervention effect Holocellulose content decreased in Eucalyptus plants attacked by defoliating insects compared with healthy plants.
- Intervention effect Wood changes caused by insect damage led to a decrease in charcoal density.
- Intervention effect Charcoal productivity from plants damaged by defoliating insects was lower, mainly because of the decrease in volumetric production.
