Protection of rubber wood against the insect borer Sinoxylon anale les (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae) - Journal of the Indian Acadamy of Wood Science 1983 - 9-Nov

Insect borers which attack rubber wood in Kerala have been listed. Sinoxylon anale was noted to cause serious economic loss. Treatment of rubber wood with 10;boric acid equivalent (BAE) solution containing 0.5;sodium pentachloride by diffusion by diffusion process to dry salt retention of about 0.4;BAE has been found to give protection against S. anale attack.
