Modeling data from stake tests of waterborne wood preservatives

A number of alternative methods for modeling and interpreting stake test data have been proposed in the literature, but none has gained widespread use by the wood preservation research community.

This method is intended to facilitate the use of existing field test data in suggesting retentions for new preservatives, commodities with different service life expectations, and new wood species.
