Abstract

In the present study, efficacy of Copper-Ethanolamine-Boron (CEB) against white rot fungus has been evaluated. CEB (10%w/v) was tested at various concentration levels viz., 2.5 and 3% against white rot. From the results of the toxicity study, it was found that the lethal dose of CEB to control the attack of white rot was 2.5%. In India, this is the first report of utilising Copper Ethanolamine Boron in wood to control the wood destroying fungus i.e. white rot.
