Scientific analysis in traditional preventive measures using garlic and vinegar as a wood fungicide in Malaysia

Information received from woodwork masters (Carpenters) indicate that garlic (Allium Sativum) and vinegar are being traditionally applied on timbers as fungicide against wood staining and mould fungi in Malaysia. This technique can reduce the usage of synthetic fungicides such as Boric acid, Ar...
