| Abstract: | The efficacy of high pressure processing, a non-thermal phytosanitary treatment, to eliminate Bursaphelenchus xylophilus in Pinus pinaster wood was evaluated. Infected wood sections and chips were exposed to high pressure processing for 5 min at 5, 15 and 30 MPa. Live nematodes were observed in wood sections and chips treated at 5 and 15 MPa but at 30 MPa no nematodes were detected. The results revealed that high pressure processing was successful in eliminating B. xylophilus from wood materials. |
