Control of marine borers by chlorothalonil

摘要

The present invention relates to treatment of marine borer infestation. It has been found that wood can be effectively protected from marine borer infestation by impregnating the wood with a pesticidally effective amount of chlorothalonil. In general, the quantity of chlorothalonil employed is in the range of from about 0.3 to about 3.0 pounds per cubic foot, although higher concentrations can be employed.
