SERNA-MOSQUERA, Yessika Biasney; TORRES-TORRES, Jhon Jerley  e  ASPRILLA-PALACIOS, Yeison Yair. Natural durability of the wood of Ochroma pyramidale Urb. in the municipality of Atrato, Colombia. Entramado [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.1, pp.192-202. ISSN 1900-3803.  https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.1.6105.

The natural durability of O, pyramidalewood was evaluated in the municipality of Atrato, Chocó. In each of the environmental conditions: under canopy of UCT trees, free exposure FE and under black plastic shade UBP a completely random block design was used, consisting of three treatments and three repetitions of 30 wood samples each. The results of the analysis of variance suggest that there is no significant difference for moisture content and mass loss. An increase in moisture content of 119.32% and 90.63% of the wood specimens located at LE and BS, respectively, was observed. Based on these characteristics, O. pyramidalewood is located in the low resistance category, so it can be inferred that it is not suitable for constructions in direct contact with the ground, where it is affected by various biodeteriorating agents.
