Abstract
This study examined plant extracts from leaves, bark, bole, roots, flowers, and fruits. Plant metabolites and derivatives inhibit brown, white, and soft rot, which decomposes wood and bamboo. The metabolites and derivatives found in plant extracts serve as a protective measure against the biodeterioration of wood and bamboo. The effectiveness of the plant depends on the toxicity of its extract. Plant extracts contain volatile compounds with antifungal properties. Mineral salts such as aluminium and copper sulphates, as well as MUF, impede the process of alcohol evaporation. Plant extract is a more effective and environmentally friendly treatment for bamboo and wood.
