Resumo

The resistance of particleboards, made from wood, bamboo and rice husk, to fungi and termites was evaluated.Panels were composed of 100% wood (Eucalyptus grandis), 100% bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris), 100% rice husk (Oryza sativa), 50% wood and 50% bamboo; and 50% wood and 50% rice husk.Panels exposed to the decay the brown-rot fungus (Gloeophyllum trabeum and the white-rot fungus (Trametes versicolor), and, in a choice feeding trial, to termites (Nasutitermes corniger).The rice husk particleboards had the highest resistance of all samples and the bamboo particleboards had the lowest resistance.T. versicolor fungi produced a larger mass loss in the particleboards than did G. trabeum.
