“…However, to keep radiata pine logs free from fungal degradation in the New Zealand summer, antisapstain treatments must be applied shortly (< 24 h) after tree felling (Eden et al 1997); this is often not practical. Without early treatment, logs could contain established fungal infections at the time of antisapstain treatment (Wakeling et al 2000). Today, antisapstain technology containing a mobile fungicide, methylene bisthiocyanate (MBT), is available for satisfactory protection of logs from fungal degradation providing no more than 3-4 days elapses from felling to the time of treatment (Wakeling et al 2000).…”

Interactions between methylene bisthiocyanate (MBT) and common wood degrading fungi of Pinus radiata were investigated. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of MBT was determined in yeast-malt liquid medium and on radiata pine. Higher treatment concentrations of MBT were required to control fungal growth on wood than in liquid culture, irrespective of the test fungus used. There were significant differences between the test fungi for MIC levels of MBT on dip-treated wood with the highest degree of tolerance observed for Trichoderma viride (MIC ≥ 0.64% w/v). Further experiments suggested that vapour action and diffusibility both contributed to the fungitoxicity of MBT.

“…Laboratory and field studies conducted at Forest Research, Rotorua, New Zealand, suggest that MBT is able to arrest fungal pre-infection (Eden et al 1999b;Wakeling et al 2000). This is believed to be due to the ability of MBT to migrate in green wood (Williams et al 1985).…”
