INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF LOCUST BEAN SEED AND POD EXTRACT(LBSPES) TERMITICIDE ON WOODS COLOR IN PLATEAU STATE
Keywords:
Locust bean seed, Pod extract, Termiticide, Wood colorAbstract
This study examines the effect of locust bean seed and pod extract termiticide on the color of wood. The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly wood treatments has led researchers to explore plant-based alternatives. Locust bean seed and pod extract have shown promise as a natural termiticide. However, its impact on wood color remains unknown. Our results indicate that the extract causes no significant color changes in treated wood, with variations in darkness, hue, and saturation
