A preliminary investigation on heartwood extractives of SAL and TEAK is reported. The timbers were subjected to various solvents successively and after extraction with each were tested for decay resistance. There was a progressive loss in decay resistance following each extraction, though this loss was different for different treatments and test fungi. It, therefore, appears that the general high decay resistance of both these timbers is due to the combined toxic effect of most of the fractions.- Natural Decay Resistance of Indian Timbers-v.

Results of studies on the natural decay resistance of 5 hardwood timber species, viz., haldu (Adina cordifolia Hook. F.), salai (Boswellia serrata Roxb.), mango (Mangifera indica Linn.), walnut (Juglans regia Linn.) and bahera Terminalia bellirica Roxb.) are reported. In all the species, except walnut, true heartwood is absent or formed only rarely. All are non-resistant against wood-rotting fungi. These findings based on laboratory tests correspond closely with the performance of the species in 'grave-yard' tests.- Natural Decay Resistance of Indian Timbers. VI.

block method are reported. While sissoo belongs to very resistant class and exhibits
little or no variation in decay resistance of 'outer' and 'inner' heartwood, sandan
manifests large variations in decay resistance amongst different samples, and within
a sample between 'outer' and 'inner' heartwood. These variations in the latter species are not correlated with heartwood diameter, age of tree or difference in rate of growth of heartwood in the 'outer' aud 'inner' regions.

Soil-block method for evaluation of natural decay resistance of timber under laboratory conditions is described in detail. Timbers are proposed to be classified into four decay resistance classes based on weight loss per cent in the blocks tested. This classification is based on the weight loss ranges as given in the U.S. Standard: ASTM: Designation: D2017-63, viz. 0-10% (very resistant), 11-24% (resistant), 25-44% (moderately resistant), and 45% and above (non-resistant), with the modification that each class is further divided into 3 sub-c1asses, to distinguish species within the main classes. Decay resistance of heartwood from 21 samples of sal ond 23 samples of teak, both from outer and the inner heartwood regions at the same radius, is tested. Sal heartwood, from outer zones, at the same radius is generally 'very resistant' (Av. Weight loss 0.20-4.19%). Some tendency towards a lesser decay resistance in the inner heartwood zone in quality class I & II sa1 is evident (weight loss 0.24-21.06%). No such difference, however, is evident in Sal trees of quality class III (weight loss 0.10-4,12%). Also, no difference in decay resistance with respect to vertical position of heartwood in the 3 trees of quality class III was noticed. Teak outer heartwood varies in decay resistance from very resistant to 'moderately resistant' (weight loss 1.98-25.63%). In older trees (age or heartwood 54-97 based on ring counts) inner heartwood is less resistant than 'outer' heartwood within the same sample. In younger trees (age of heartwood 11.47 hased on ring count.), entire heartwood of a sample is generally of the same resistance class and compares with inner heartwood of older trees. Variations in decay resistance appear to be correlated with age of trees, rate of growth and radial position of heartwood in the logs.- Dwarf Mistletoe on Blue Pine in the Western Himalayas and its Control

Dwarf mistletoe is causing economic damage to blue pine, particularly in the low rainfall and arid locations in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir States. Dispersal of the parasite, its mode of infection, symptoms of the disease and damage to the host are described. In high level blue pine forests where incidence of infection is heavy resulting in stunted growth and mortality, it appear. Unprofitable to continue with such stands. It is suggested that such forests be carefully examined and clearfelled wherever feasible from the point of soil and moisture conservation and site maintenance and artificially regenerated. Burning after clearfelling may help regenerations in locations where the disease incidence is low, the disease may be kept in check through sanitation and its spread checked by establishment of a protective zone. These are the usual measures adopted in other countries to control dwarf mistletoe.- Decay in Relation to Management of Dry Coppice Teak Forests
