Abstract
Studies were carried out to investigate the factors affecting the wood borer's attack and its relationship with wooden trees. Physical structure of the wood, mode of attack and feeding habits were also studied. Chemical component of wood in relation to biological activity was considered. The results showed that the four tested borers prefere wood characterized by a thin layer of bark and large paranchymal cells. Data indicated that B. reichei, D. bifoveolatus, E. obtusedentatus and L. africanus prefer hosts containing large quintities of starch, free amino acids, crude fibers and carbohydrates.
