SUMMARY

Dipterocarpus alatus is an indigenous species for large timber with high economic value, dominated in the tropical rain forests.  This species was defined a difficult-to-root species as cuttings were harvested from mature trees. Therefore, research on cutting propagation of Dipterocarpus alatus has been conducted. The experiments included root stimulants, ages of mother trees, the time to harvest cuttings. The results showed that the highest rooting percentage was reached in the treatment with 2,4-D 500ppm and IAA 100ppm (38,33 – 48,33%). Cuttings harvested from 1-year-old mother trees had the highest rooting percentage (82.5%) and these decreased significantly to cuttings taken from 2-year-old or older mother plants. The time that cuttings harvested was the best in April. The root quality had the same trend with rooting success.

Keywords: Cuttings, Dipterocarpus alatus.

SUMMARY

Invitro micropropagation technique has been established for Ailanthus triphysa from segments of tree. Surface sterilisation is effectively obtained by treated segments in 700 alcohol for 30s prior treating with 0,1% HgCl2 for 3 min and 30 min in NaOCl (40%) solution. The treated segments were then rinsed 4 times with steriled distilled water .

The macro-elements in Murashige & Skoog medium reduced to a half strength supplemented with 2.0mg/l BA and 10% activated charcoal were considered as a relevant medium for invitro shoot induction. Highest ratio of shoot induced when ½ MS medium is supplemented with BA (3.0mg/l)  and 10% of activated charcoal. Addition of 0.3 or 0.5 mg/l of IBA to 1/2 MS medium did not promote shoot induction but enhance elongation of the newly induced shoots.

Addition of 0.5 mg/l IBA to the cultured medium was  recorded as suitable concentration in promoting 73.33%  of  root on  the emerged shoots.

SUMMARY

Based on data collected in 6 permanent sample plots during 2006-2009, the dymnamic structure of dry open forests with dipterocarps in Central Highlands has been simulated. Simulation results are scientific background for application proposal in sustainable mangement. Researchs have been done to analyse the basic parameters of three dynamic processes: diameter increment, recruitment and mortality to develop  estimated stand structure tables with period of 5 years and lasting to 30 years, starting from stand status of 2009. The estimated model shown the changes in distrubution structure of N-D, G-D and M-D of the dry open forests with dipterocarps within 30 years in the future. From the research results, proposal has been made for limit cutting diameter, annual allowance cutting and cutting cycle. The management system of dry open forests with dipterocarps is selective logging. For large size timber production, the limit diameter cutting is > 40cm; for saw log is 30-40 cm and for small timber is 25-30 cm. Stand to be haversted should have a volume stocking of more than 150 m3/ha, cutting intensity is of 33% with a cycle of ca. 13-15 years.

9. ISOLATING AND SCREENING MICRO-ORGANISMS HIGHLY DISOLVEABLE XENLULO AND COMPATIBLE WITH ERODED SOILS, CHARACTERING THEIR PHYSIOLOGIES/BIOLOGY IN ORDER TO PRODUCING BIO-FERTILIZER FOR FOREST TREES.

Nguyen Thi Thuy Nga

Forest Science Institute of Vietnam

Forest fires which have been recently occurred seriously are one of main reasons causing remarkably soil erosion in the world. These result from the retain of firing materials on ground. Using xenlulo-disolving bacteria which are living on that soil is one of the excellant approaches to disintergrate the material to reduce the firing risks along with increasing the humic soil. Twenty five strains able to disolve xenlulo were isolated from 30 soil samples collected from barelands. Of which, there were 10, 3, and 2 strains the xenlulo-disolved rings reached around 15mm, 20mm, and 25mm, respectively. The best strain DT2 growth well on the PD medium and took about 6 days for full growth under liquid culture at 35-400C. The other best strain DV2 was relatively approriate with the Hutchinson’s Agar-free nutrient media at 300C. These might be potential strains to produce bio-fertilizer with the aims of disolving  vegetation and slash on forest ground to reduce the risk of forest fire and increase the humic soil.

SUMMARY

Cutting propagation is easy to apply with reasonable cost and without the requirement for high technology to meet  demand on  high quality and large amounts of seedlings for foest plantation. It is becoming the most popular and effective method to produce seedlings in many countries throughout the world for many years. Because of very severe climate in the North of Viet Nam ( from Hue to the Nortth) caused by the cold north wind and the hot–dry wind and lack of scientific database for design, light suitable for many tree species to root is not obtained in too hot and sunshine weather and the cold and foggy periods in existing cutting house. They are only effective in good weather condition (sunshiny but not too hot days). The result below help to select materials suitable for building sunshiny roof and wall of cutting house in Vietnam and how to control sunshine inside according to need of cutting

Key words: light cover materials, cutting environment, parameter of light covering, method of defining light covering

Pham Thi Mien, Nguyen Quang Trung, Phan Luong Ngoc

 

SUMMARY

Many fast growing plantation timber species (including Acacia and Eucalypt) has low natural durability, they are susceptible to attack by harmful insects, fungi’s and rot quickly.

Improvement of the timber quality, of plantation species, can be obtained by using thermo-chemical-mechanical treatment technology to obtain improve its physical-mechanical properties.

This paper introduces the testing result of the anti-fungi ability of the treated E.urophylla wood. The urophylla sawn timber treated with Phenol-formaldehyde (P-F) and pressed at high temperature and pressure has the best fungal resistance. As E.urophylla will not allow the endosmosis of P-F into the timber structure, the treated wood layer should not be broken or cut during . The plywood products made of P-F and peeling veneer have greater fungal resistance than plywood made of P-F and 5mm thickness sawn board layers. The treated E.urophylla products could replace some native timber species obtained from natural forests to build the cabins and flooring of ships, particularly ocean-going fishing boats.

 

Keywords: Innovated wood, flooring, fungal and rot timber.

SUMMARY

Eucalyptus urophylla is one of the fastest growing tree species and is being planted in many plantation zones in Vietnam.  It is used as an industrial raw material and is grown in many regions of Vietnam. The utilization of E.urophylla timber is limited and the current utilization does not meet its full potential. E,urophylla logs are being used as a raw material for wood chip production and being sawn into timber for use as construction material. In order to improve the value of E.urophylla logs, it should be used to produce higher value added products. This study introduces a product manufactured for E.urophylla sawn timber and treated with phenol-formaldehyde resin which increases its density MOR and dimensional stability. It is proposed that these treated products be used for the flooring and cabins of ocean-going fishing boats. The E. urophylla timbers treated with Phenol-formaldehyde and dried at high temperature (1200C) have density of 0.74 g/cm3, MOR of 6.9 MPa and swelling of 7.1%. The products treated by phenol-formaldehyde and pressing at high temperature have the density of 0.79 g/cm3; MOR of 8.0 MPa and the swelling of 6.23%.  Some physical and mechanical properties of the treated products are improved and better than the properties of the control samples. These products will be regularly monitored in both the floor and the cabin of the ship in which they have been installed.

Key words: E.urophylla timber; innovated eucalypt timber
