“WOOD IS GOOD”• Wood is environmentally friendly• Wood is easy to work • Wood is easy to convert and transport • Wood is a source of innumerable products• Wood is equal to steel and concrete (Wt for Wt)• Wood does not require high technical skill to process• Wood lasts longer after treatment• Good insulator and has good acoustic properties •Wood is good industrial & construction material• Wood is natural raw material for pulp & paper • Wood can be stained to the required colour

India is a timber deficient and timber dependent country
• Hence sustainable usage of wood is very essential
• Wood protection will pay for its sustainable usage and environmental protection
• Wood protection will promote conservation of the diversity of tree species

Economic loss due to TermitesTotal economic loss due to termites in the United
States was estimated at $11 billion/yr (Su 2002).
The economic loss caused by termites in China amounts to RMB 1700-2000 million per annum Zhong & Liug (2002) .
Subterranean termite control in 2000 accounted for US$8-10 million in Malaysia (Chow-Yang Lee, 2002).
In India about 33% of the timber is lost due to biodegrading agents

The world is facing termite terrorism
Evidence :
•In Mumbai followed by the news of damage of the Mayor’s Bungalow, the bungalow of Municipal Commissioner at Malabar (Heritage structure) in the city has been infested by termites
•An estimated cost of Rs. 45,000/- was spent, to buy pesticides for controlling termites.

IMPORTACNE OF PESTICIDES
The present day IPM does not preclude the chemical pesticide use, instead it uses it as one of the weapon in the armoury to be used sensibly with other weapons.
Pesticide chemicals along with plant nutrients are generally acknowledged as fundamental to the success of green revolution

CONCLUSION
• Chlorpyriphos and Fenvalerate, were found very effective even after 5 years of implantation
• Cypermethrin and Alphacypermethrin gave complete protection till 3 years only
• Selective pesticides can play a major role in wood protection
