Woods were dried under the sun and in the oven for a range of 5-25 days and then these were exposed to termites for 25 days in underground pits in Randomized Complete Block Design pattern with five replications. Results showed that lowest moisture gain was observed at a short time for drying with each method. Weight loss after termites’ exposure was more in less dried sap and heartwood of either plant species. The practical implication of these results is discussed. 2016 artículo científico 0717-3644 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=48547628010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=485 Maderas.
