scope:
This method is a screening test to determine the minimum amount of preservative that is effective in preventing decay of selected species of wood by selected fungi under optimum laboratory conditions. Preservative thresholds obtained using this procedure provide an indication of retentions to be used in above-ground field tests; retentions to include in ground-contact field tests would be greater (e.g., 1.5 to 2.0 times) than those obtained in soil block tests.
