Abstract
Summary Sapstain development during seasoning and storage of Pinus radiata D. Don boards was observed over four month periods in stacks constructed in spring, summer, autumn and winter at Oberon, west of Sydney, N.S.W. For all seasons the cleanest timber came from kiln-dried covered stacks and the next best treatment was air-drying timber treated with an anti-sapstain dip. Kiln-dried timber stacked in winter and left uncovered was badly stained. Severe sapstain and decay always occurred in block-stacked timber within one month of construction. Air-drying without fungal degrade was possible from November to April, although kiln-drying was necessary during winter and early spring.
