Abstract

TANG TKH, SCHMIDT O & LIESE W. 2012. Protection of bamboo against mould using environment-friendly
chemicals. The protection of the bamboo species Bambusa stenostachya, Bambusa procera, Dendrocalamus asper
and Thyrostachys siamensis against moulds was tested with environment-friendly chemicals under practical
conditions. Bamboo samples were treated with several organic acids. Mould growth on the specimens was
evaluated 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after exposure at the storage site of the Bamboo Nature Company, Binh Duong
province, South Vietnam. Treatments with 10% acetic acid and 7% propionic acid completely inhibited
mould growth on B. stenostachya and T. siamensis. For full protection of B. procera and D. asper, 10% propionic
acid was needed.
