The resistance of yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb.)-based wood wool cement board (WWCB) against Philippine termites was evaluated under laboratory and field conditions. Tests were conducted following the FPRDI standard procedures in determining the resistance of WWCB against subterranean and drywood termites. Results of the laboratory tests showed that WWCB was resistant to both Microcerotermes losbañosensis Oshima and Cryptotermes dudleyi Banks. Under field conditions, WWCB was highly resistant to subterranean termites. There was no remarkable termite damage except for the normal nibbling or initial termite feeding on the board during the 8-year exposure period.
在实验室和野外条件下，对基于耶曼尼（Gmelina arborea Roxb.）的木丝水泥板（WWCB）对菲律宾白蚁的抗性进行了评估。按照林业产品研究与开发研究所（FPRDI）的标准程序进行测试，以确定WWCB对地下白蚁和干木白蚁的抗性。实验室测试结果表明，WWCB对洛斯巴尼奥斯微白蚁（Microcerotermes losbañosensis Oshima）和达德利隐白蚁（Cryptotermes dudleyi Banks）均具有抗性。在野外条件下，WWCB对地下白蚁具有高度抗性。在8年的暴露期内，除了正常的啃咬或白蚁对板材的初始取食外，没有明显的白蚁损害。
