Effect of Red Extractives of Plantation Leaves on Bamboo Biomass Mildewing

Abstract:

Bamboo is so easy to get mildewed that bamboo products are still low value added. Therefore, the effect of red extractives from 28 tree leaves on bamboo biology mildewing was studied basing on full-factor test. The result was as follows: (1) most red extractives of tree leaves can inhibit the growth of P. expansum, but a few can inhibit the growth of A. alternate; (2) The red extractives from tree leaves of Deodar cedar, Eucalyptus grandis, Eucalyptus dunnii and pear were the most effective to control spore germination of P. expansum, and those of Manglietia glauca, Osmanthus fragrans, and Melia toosendanin were the most effective to control spore germination of A. alternata; (3) The effect of the red extractives from Pinus taeda, Eucalyptus grandis and Santalum album on bamboo biomass mildewing was highly remarkable on mildew-proof by outdoor test. Our result pointed out the direction for the development of the biological mildew inhibitor from tree leaves. Key words. tree leaves, bamboo biomass, benzene/alcohol extractives
