Neem (Azadirachta indica) extract (NE) and NE combined with copper sulfate and boric acid (NECB) were examined for their protective effect against fungal deterioration of mango (Mangifera indica) and rain tree (Albizia saman) wood. Growth of the white-rot fungus Schizophyllum commune was completely inhibited on solid medium containing 1.8% (w/w) NE or 5% (w/w) NECB. The average weight losses of NE and NECB treated wood blocks inoculated with S. commune were respectively 4.7% and 3.3% for M. indica and 4.1% and 3.0% for A. saman. These numbers were significantly lower compared to those obtained in the untreated condition. Similar observations were also noticed in the case of field tests. An average increase of life span of M. indica and A. saman due to NE treatment compared to untreated samples was about 6–7 times higher. Therefore, both NE and NECB treatments are promising preservation options for enhancing the durability of both M. indica and A. saman woods.
