Description

Pinus pinaster wood is very susceptible to fungal degradation and that could be a great problem for its commercialization. In this work it was tested the capacity of limonene to prevent fungal development of two degradative fungi, Trametes versicolor e Trichoderma citroviride, on Punus pinaster wood.
