“…Amer et al (2020) stated that the resistance to water transfer in wood depends on its density and anatomical direction. According to Monteiro and Lima (2020), anatomical elements influence the flow of water during drying, as the length and diameter of the vessel have a positive effect on water flow via capillarity.…”

Drying is a fundamental step in the lumber production process. The definition of variables that affect the quality of the process, such as initial and final temperatures as well as drying potential, depends on the known technological knowledge of the wood, as well as on the experience of the drying process developed for a particular species. With this in mind, we developed an experiment using wood from four genetic materials (three clones and one seminal) of the species Tectona grandis cultivated with and without fertilization. This was done to estimate and evaluate the parameters used in the explanation of drying programs. The values of the initial and final temperatures, and those of the drying potentials, were estimated using the drastic drying methodology, which evaluates the drying rate and defect score (cracks and collapse). In addition to the drying parameters, the physical properties that affect the drying performance were also evaluated. The results show that origin and fertilization did not affect the initial and final temperatures. However, the potential drying parameters were significantly affected by the combination of treatments. Furthermore, the wood drying potential of certain genetic materials was positively affected by fertilization. Finally, the material from the fertilized areas had the lowest basic densities, the highest initial moisture content, and the highest drying rates.

Aim of this research was to evaluate the relationship between the biometrics of vessel-ray pits (RVP) and intervessel pits (IVP) with the water flow in different axes of Corymbia citriodora wood. C. citriodora wood specimens were used to correlate RVP and IVP dimensions with free water (FWFR), adsorbed (AWFR) and total (TWFR) flow. Correlations were made for three wood axes. Larger diameters of RVP facilitated FWFR, AWFR and TWFR in axial and tangential axis, however reduced permeability in radial direction of wood. Larger openings of IVPs reduced FWFR, AWFR and TWFR in axial axis of wood. Larger IVPs openings allowed higher FWFR and TWFR in wood radial and tangential directions, however, concomitantly reduced AWR. Effect of diameter of RVP and IVP on wood permeability should be evaluated for each axis. Thus, the opening of the C. citriodora wood pits can interfere in its permeability and consequently in its processing.
